The success of the 3rd edition of the FAST: Festival for Architecture Schools of Tomorrow festival is inseparable from the partners who have chosen to believe in it, support it, and grow alongside it. Across its editions, FAST has developed as a collaborative platform where education, professional practice, and public dialogue intersect, and this evolution would not have been possible without the commitment of our partners.
First and foremost, we would like to express our sincere gratitude to CEMACON, who have been with FAST since its very first edition. Their long-term trust, consistency, and support have played a crucial role in shaping the festival’s trajectory. Beyond sponsorship, their involvement reflects a genuine commitment to architectural education and to investing in future generations of architects. Having a partner who believed in the festival from the beginning has given FAST stability, confidence, and the courage to expand its ambitions with each new edition.
At the same time, we warmly thank the partners who joined the FAST community more recently. Choosing to support a growing cultural and educational initiative is an act of trust, and we deeply appreciate those who saw the festival’s potential and decided to become part of its journey. Their support took many forms, from long-term strategic partnerships to first-time collaborations, from financial backing to knowledge exchange and logistical support, all contributing to the richness and diversity of the festival.
Together, our partners form a network that bridges academia, professional practice, industry, and culture. Through their involvement, they directly supported learning environments where students could experiment, debate, and engage with the realities of contemporary architectural practice. The exhibitions, workshops, lectures, and public events made possible through these collaborations continue to strengthen FAST as a space for dialogue, critical thinking, and exploration.
Want to join the FAST community?
Building on the trust and collaborations established so far, FAST is already looking ahead to its 4th edition, which will take place in Oradea in 2026! If you are an organization, company, or institution interested in supporting architectural education, student-driven initiatives, and cross-disciplinary dialogue, we invite you to join us and become part of the next FAST edition in Oradea, shaping the future of architecture together with the architects of tomorrow.
