The solution competition – in 2017, Cluj-Napoca City Hall, in partnership with the Romanian Order of Architects, launched an international competition, which aimed at the revitalization of the Firefighters Tower and its introduction into the city’s tourist circuit. The competition attracted the interest and participation of 25 projects from Romania and abroad, which were judged by an international jury. Beyond the success of this competition, the implementation was a great opportunity for the city’s administration to be more open to the architecture competition, a new approach to other future public investments. Thus, the new important public investments in the city were assigned to various architecture offices through the international competition procedure, visibly increasing the quality of the proposed solutions. The competition for the revitalization of the Firefighter’s Tower practically opened the door to a new stage in the history of the city, both for architects and for the local administration, regarding properly relating to new interventions on buildings or public spaces.
