I confess that this editorial was initially supposed to be about Ukraine. Obviously, whether we speak of architecture or any other part of culture, we have no right to just go on with our activity and concerns and ignore the terrible tragedy close to us. I wanted to write about war and architecture, about the cities destroyed, about the blocks of flats and public buildings, similar to ours, that were levelled to the ground, about how the underground in Kyiv was turned into a sleeping space and about much more.<\/p>\n

However, we have decided to do so in a more thorough and continuous manner, with informed articles, on the website and in the following issues. Not war-porn, not ruin-porn, but respectful, in-context presentations. In fact, we are starting right now: within our dossier on discreet architecture, Daniel Tudor Munteanu is speaking, in an extended, documented material, of a model-project for a rural administrative centre in Ukraine, of resilience and democratic building through architecture (as well).<\/p>\n

So this editorial’s topic starts from a local event, but a one significant for a phenomenon we have been obstinately writing about. Recently, right on the street I take to reach my office and the University, a piece of plaster fell right on a little boy’s head. He got a bad wound, he was taken to hospital, and I really hope he’s alright now. Well, we already know, like my colleague Cosmina Goagea often says, that Bucharest is a city that kills you. It kills you with its pollution, with its cars running you over or taking up your footways, forcing you to walk down the road, where they will run you over, it’ll kill loads of us when the next earthquake hits.<\/p>\n
