Dear EAHN member,
 
The European Architectureal History Network would like to invite you to join the EAHN on a five-day tour to Bucharest and Bucovina from 1 to 7 July, following the ETH/SAH/EAHN conference in Zurich.
 
The tour will begin with three days in Bucharest, where there will be an opportunity to meet with colleagues from the University of Architecture and the Faculty of Art History. We will examine Bucharest's urban development from the fifteenth through the twentieth century.  We will focus on the various forms of architecture, particularly on the fin de siècle Beaux Arts, the national style, modernism, monumental neo-classicism, and the socialist city.  We will also visit the open-air Village Museum, which features over fifty examples of rural architecture as well as the Museum of the Romanian Peasant, recipient of multiple international awards. 
 
In Bucovina we will travel by bus to view some of the painted churches of the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries, including Voronet, Humor, Moldovita, and Sucevita, all of which are UNESCO monuments.  Their interior and exterior frescoes reveal a complex and fascinating iconography. The tour ends in Bucharest.
 
Estimated cost: 470 euros (including the accommodations in Bucharest and Bucovina; the train ticket - sleeping coach; and private bus in Bucharest and Bucovina). The tour price does not include the flight to Romania or the meals; these are the responsibility of the participant.
 
To join the tour please contact Carmen Popescu (crmv@clicknet.ro) or the EAHN secretariat (eahn.office@gmail.com) before April 20.
 
 
Sincerely,
EAHN secretariat
