The Ark has become a landmark for cultural events, exhibitions, and urban discourse, located in the Uranus area, Rahova. This repurposed venue, with its raw industrial aesthetic and modern touches, offers a flexible platform for the city’s artistic and professional communities.

What makes it distinctive

– Strong architectural identity – Exposed structures and industrial textures highlight the artwork and design exhibited inside, giving the space an honest, unpolished atmosphere.
– Eclectic programming – The venue has hosted contemporary art shows (watercolor, painting, animation), university architecture studios, community events, and high-impact creative launches. Events like “AI, Architecture & Design” brought together cutting-edge technology with European projects, while works by young architects engaged in dialogue with more established artistic voices.
– An active community hub – With support from the Romanian Order of Architects and UAUIM, Expohub functions as a space for collaboration and dialogue between students, professionals, and the general public.

Atmosphere & experience

The interior is bathed in natural light, with bare walls and visible beams that create a neutral stage for creativity. Events feel alive and spontaneous — from animated vernissages to fast-paced talks and live presentations, the space becomes an urban lab of ideas.
