Abstract

The thesis aims to show how culture tradition and identity are important in a country's economy and modernization. The location the project focuses in is Vrancea, a mountainous county in Romania. The problem with Vrancea is that the villages currently don't get enough benefits from the government, which doesn't provide enough economical stability for the people. After studying the area it was concluded that the primary expression of culture and tradition came from the Arts and Crafts of the region. Vrancea has certain culture and tradition that other counties in Romania don't practice. The Arts and Crafts center will not only bring in tourism and create an economic benefit for the villages, but it will also unite the villages and allow them to express their own identity. The Arts and Crafts center will play the role of a community, create interaction with the tourists and help the villagers have more stability in their lives.
