Thirty years on, the collective memory of these destructions is fading away, while the aggression against the cities continues, even in an opposite paradigm \u2013 that of ultraliberal development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Forgetting (sometimes voluntary) can intensify a revisionist discourse, which justifies those brutal demolitions by the need to \u201cmodernize\u201d. The same discourse then programmatically applies to the destructions and excessive building we witness today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Under these circumstances, we believe that nostalgic accounts or the display of archives and other records as such are no longer enough. Therefore, through the proposed project we intend to take a step forward towards a symbolic and analytical reenactment of an erased urban reality.<br>Prin proiectul propus aici facem pasul c\u0103tre o reconstituire simbolic\u0103 \u0219i analitic\u0103 a unui realit\u0103\u021bi urbane eliminate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We concentrate the almost completely distructed Uranus neighborhood, the very place the occupied by Ceau\u0219escu\u2019s Palace (now the seat of the Parliament) and several other totalitarian buildings.
