Raluca Sturzu (Bucharest, Romania) is a graduate architect and designer, living and working in Bucharest and Paris. She studied architecture in both cities, obtaining her Architecture degree at Universitatea de Arhitectură și Urbanism „Ion Mincu” in Bucharest and attending a Master’s year (Erasmus exchange) at École Nationale Supérieure d’Architecture de Paris – Belleville. In 2019, she founded UNDA, an architecture studio based in Bucharest.
Rather than considering architecture solely as the production of buildings, she approaches it as a form of inquiry — a structured and purposeful way of understanding and shaping places through design, representation, and construction.
Her experience includes more than ten years of professional practice in France, Romania, and Belgium, ranging from large-scale housing developments and public competitions to independent research, exhibition and object design.
