mation centre.
With the special funding from the Norwegian Embassy in Bucharest the INTBAU (Ro) information office will be run. A permanent presence has been assured for 1 day pr. Week
through cooperation with village volunteers. Further, the local members of INTBAU (Ro) who are based in Medias will visit the office on a regular basis.
Restoration and training on house 344
An agreement has been made between MET 1 and INTBAU (Ro) to organise a cooperative venture to restore the house 344 in Laslea. This house was planned for demolition by the
Municipality. The order to demolish has now been cancelled. Work on the house has started with documentation, under the supervision of Master mason Mr. H. Rumboldt and a
team of English craftsmen. The work on the house will simultaneously function as a training opportunity for local craftsmen.
INTBAU will be responsable for restoring and equipping the interior of the house and to run the centre for five years after completion.
Cobble- stones on the new watering emplacement for livestock
This project, which was to be organised by INTBAU (Ro) and part financed by a special funding by the Norwegian Embassy in Bucharest, will be initiated during the summer 2005.
Sundry activities
A test tour for eco-tourism planned for the fall 2005.
INTBAU Ro has been invited to organise a week study seminar in Bran, which will be held first week of august 2005. The seminar is part of a summer university organised in
cooperation with the Bran Museum and the Ministry of Culture. The objective is to study how development inside Bran village and the surrounding countryside can be directed and
managed to assure a more controlled development in Bran. Bran is presently experiencing a growing problem with uncontrolled construction in its surroundings and haphazard
centre development.
Sustainability
By the establishment of the INTBAU office in Laslea a more permanent presence in the municipality has been assured.
The work on House 344 in the centre of Laslea also assures a visible presence and reminder of the need and potential of maintaining the traditional architecture in the village. This
is strengthened by the offices being next door to the Town hall and the close cooperation intended in the cobblestone project.
In cooperation with the Municipality INTBAU will negotiate some specific restoration activities in Laslea during 2005.
