The Romanian Order of Architects is a professional, non-profit, apolitical, public interest, autonomous and independent organisation, structured through branches in the territory. The Timiș Territorial Branch of OAR aims to communicate to society that architecture is an act of culture and public interest, with urban, economic, social and ecological implications.

Since its establishment, OAR Timiș has organised numerous cultural projects, among which the most important being Beta – the Timișoara Architecture Biennial, which, since the first edition in 2016, has become one of the main architectural events in the country and euroregion.

Beta 2022 (Timișoara Architecture Biennial) is a cultural project of the Romanian Order of Architects – Timiș Territorial Branch, organized by a dedicated team. Beta 2022 is currently on its 4th edition, following the 2018 and 2016 editions, respectively the 9 annual events that occurred before them. Since 2019, Beta is OAR’s priority project and the main architecture event in western Romania, with an euroregional influence, being in collaboration with some neighboring countries – Serbia and Hungary.
