More interesting architecture!

 modern Art Deco

The PJ House in Cluj-Napoca, designed by architect Miklós Péterffy, is a contemporary marvel that revitalizes the Art Deco style for the 21st century.

One of the key aspects of the PJ House is its commitment to sustainability. Péterffy has incorporated eco-friendly technologies and materials throughout the design. Solar panels, energy-efficient lighting, and advanced insulation techniques are seamlessly integrated into the structure, reducing the house’s environmental footprint.



Did you know where Cluj-Napoca was? I looked it up on DuckDuckGo, and found it's in Romania! What do you know!

Today's quote:

Ray Bradbury,  said: "There are worse crimes than burning books. One of them is not reading them."And: "I don't try to describe the future. I try to prevent it." And: "Go to the edge of the cliff and jump off. Build your wings on the way down."
