The ALT+A Association is a non-governmental, non-profit, independent, apolitical and public benefit organization. The purpose of the ALT+A Association is to promote education, scientific research, cultural and educational assistance, and social responsibility, especially in the fields of architecture, urban planning and visual arts.
The founding members of the ALT+A Association are the architects Nely Vînău, Tiberiu Teodor-Stanciu and Răzvan Nica, teaching staff at the Faculty of Architecture in Iași. Passionate about graphic design, cinematography and obviously architecture, since 2022 they are organizing the workshop and lectures SF(a): Society. Film. Architecture. SF(a) is a cross-disciplinary initiative that emphasizes non-formal educational tools and uses science-fiction cinema as a common point of reference. The selected films depict hypothetical dystopian societies, temporal sequences still distant but not impossible, which give new perspectives on alternative social structures. For each edition, a cult movie representative of a historical era and an architectural style is chosen: Blade Runner (Ridley Scott, 1982) and Post-modernism, Metropolis (Fritz Lang, 1929) and Modernism, A Clockwork Orange (Stanley Kubrick, 1971) and Brutalism.
The ALT+A association is a team in constant (re)search for educational alternatives in the field of architecture and visual arts.
Season 3 of SF(a) Society. Film. Architecture was organized by ALT+A Association (NGO) & OAR Iași (Romanian Order of Architects, Iași brach) with the help of FABLAB Iași, National Museum of Literature Iași, “G.M. Cantacuzino” Faculty of Architecture (TUIASI), Faculty of Visual Arts and Design (UNAGE Iași), ASAI, and atelier spre.

The SF(a) logo encompasses several referents such as invitation to debate, dialogue box, motion picture, 3D glasses, architecture, and Science Fiction. These elements are presented in a manner that adheres to the proportions often found in movie posters. Therefore, it can be argued that the logo functions as a self- contained billboard and serves as an optimal catalyst for initiating discourse.
The utilization of monochrome and consistent line thickness in the logo establishes the foundation for fostering a well-balanced discourse within a neutral environment that refrains from exerting influence, coercion, or causing discomfort.
