He was born in Bucharest in 1817 to serdar Hristea Orăscu and his wife, Elena Orăscu. He graduated from the Saint Sava High School in his native city. Upon recommendation from his mathematics teacher, Petrache Poenaru, Orăscu was hired in 1837 as aide to the chief architect of the city, a job he held until 1841.
