Șerban Țigănaș: I am defining myself as an architect. This means a certain formation, a specific perspective upon this world and way to pay contribution in its transformation. To be an architect is "to pay it forward" and I am trying to this in the three ways I may use: trough my work, performed with my team, by what I transfer to my students and with my actions for better architecture. From another point of view of my definition I am presenting myself as being from Cluj, born, loaded with memories and wishes and rooted here. When I succeed anything, there is here where I am the happiest. Partner in architecture and urban planning offices Dico and Tiganas and Planwerk, professor at Architecture and Urban Planning School of the Technical University of Cluj -- Napoca and president of the Order of Architects of Romania.
In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
