The purpose of this study is to embrace regionalism and specific Romanian wood construction methods and create a vital connection between vernacular concepts and new interior design. The methods used in the research are based on field trips, visiting Romanian villages, connecting with the community and determining the degree of presence of traditional wood structures and housing, the transition of vernacular construction typologies in the contemporary context. A social research will complete the architectural, aesthetic and functional aspect of the analysis which offers a more profound approach in the process of identification of traditional characteristics of Romanian architecture and wood construction methods. The most difficult part of this project consists mainly of raising the awareness of local authorities, of the community and of architects concerning local identity, traditions, vernacular construction as a viable way of seeing contemporary design. The aim of the project is to create furniture with value and meaning which increases with time and through the use of local communities. This type of interior design achieves meaning as a part of the variety of cultures of the local Romanian communities and as a symbolic reflection of the context.
