Survey on Cultural Heritage Adaptive Reuse practice
| Project Id | 3310 |
| Project Name | Casino Urban Culture Centre, Romania |
| Description | The Kiosk (former Casino) was never a Casino in the real sense of the word, but one roulette placed in the building led to a common understanding of the building with name of the Casino. From the end of the XIX. to the XX. century, the Casino was used for various purposes. In 2012, the Local Council of Cluj-Napoca became the owner of the building, restoring and transforming it into a new Urban Culture Centre, resulting in the most appreciated location for hosting cultural or social events in Cluj. The Casino has now a cultural destination, which is financed from its own revenues (e.g. business related activities) and from the local budget, and operates under the authority of the Local Council of Cluj-Napoca. |
