Oana Stancioiu

Architect / Consultant at nonconform ideenwerkstatt GmbH | Austria

Achieving viable sustainable and inclusive outcomes that address problems of today without compromising the world of tomorrow; this is how Oana Stancioiu would describe her daily business. Through their participatory workshops, Oana and her team at nonconform engage and empower people to own their change processes and, furthermore, develop a sense of self-efficacy and identification. With their newly discovered commitment and enthusiasm, participants define a shared vision and clear steps to achieve it. Oana then translates the result into a spatial concept, strategical measures, or a set of recommendations – depending on each project. For her, being serious and genuine about the participation process is non-negotiable, as it will bring various benefits (fun included!).
