About this audio guide
This guide to the Union of Architects of Romania in Bucharest opens at a birthday party in March 2015, with sparklers on a cake and two guests who have just turned ninety. It then turns to Arhitectura, the magazine founded in 1906 that shares the address, and to the house the union bought in 2010 and the obligations that came with it. Best heard standing out front, where you can see the roofline.
