·25M² is an interior design renovation project, repurposing and branding of a 25 meters square space (with an adjacent small courtyard) located at the very entrance of the "Ion Mincu" University of Architecture and Urbanism building. Abandoned and decaying, the space was handled in 2018 to the I'MUAU group for a change: a space changed by students for the students. The financial resources offered by the university were minimal and the majority of the design choices and solutions have been based on sponsorships.
·Team: Ioana Capota, Iulia Panait, Emanuel Birtea, Alexandru Voicu, Andrei Angelescu (students in 5th year of studies, Faculty of Architecture, "Ion Mincu" University of Architecture and Urbanism)
·Coordinator: Justin Baroncea (architect and teacher at "Ion Mincu" University of Architecture and Urbanism)

·After finishing the renovation, our intention was to activate the space and organize a series of events & workshops that would familiarize students with the concept of the project, increase the desire of involvement and bring new collaborators through this medium. Being in direct relation with the street, 25M² has all the chances to become an intermediary medium between our university and public space.
[DOWN] Due to COVID-19 regulations, ever since the inauguration in March 2020 (and the graduation of all team members in 2021) 25M2 has been used only as expositional space for several events.
