Cezar Lăzărescu is remembered for work that changed how the next generation built.
The record lists Cezar Lăzărescu as Romanian architect.
Cezar Lăzărescu was born at Bucharest in 1923. His recorded nationality is Romania.
Post-war architecture built at state scale: housing, new towns and civic megastructures, with results that are still being judged.
He is recorded as architect and urban planner.
His best-known building is Henri Coandă International Airport. Of all the arts, architecture is the one whose failures are hardest to remove.
That the work was built in Romania shaped it: climate, materials, planning law and who holds the budget all decide what can actually be built.
Cezar Lăzărescu died in 1986, aged 63. The buildings remain, still in use by people who never knew the name - which is the particular afterlife architecture offers.
