At the same time it led to the assumption, that all of these stories, but also historical events, even plans - no matter if physically manifested or never exxecuted - left/leave their traces in the city like a kind of imprint into a multilayered plane.Later on this assumption provoked the rereading of the area of Văcărești in the south-west of the city centre - following Sébastien Marot’s elaborations on Ithaca - as a palimpsestous stage which formed several distinct urban elements or characters. Their potential interplay and the resulting clashes and negotiations became the key aspect of my research, which transformed into one of a range of principles for the design. At this point my focus shifted from the urban scale of the area to the specific site of a abandoned and reoccupied civic slaughterhouse, which comprehends all of the assumed levels at the same time in a smaller, more architectural scale.
