"The House of People" Bucharest Romania

“The House of People“ is the biggest building in Romania and the second in the world, after the Pentagon, ****************************************************************************

Was erected at the will of the dictator Ceausescu, during his last years of dictatorship. He has never seen it finished, he was killed during the Romanian "revolution" in *****************************************************************************************************

"The House of People" was built on a former hill, the Uranus hill(with old houses, churches, little and quiet merchant streets). ******************************************************************************************************

Nothing escaped from demolition, not even the hill, which was leveled to ground, 8 basements were constructed, then, an artificial hill covered the enormous infrastructure of the building. *********************************************************************************************************

The demolished area from Bucharest's historical centre is equal with the surface of Venice. ********************************************************************************************************

No need to mention that the human scale, which we know from Classic and Renaissance architecture was the least thing architects took into consideration. ****************************************************************************************************

It's interesting, the largest church in Romania fits inside the largest meeting hall of the "House". ************************************************************************************************

Nowadays, the "House" belongs to the Parliament of Romania, politicians feel actually very comfortable in this huge construction and represented by it never the less. ********************************************************************************************************

Most of Romanians were hating this symbol of dictatorship so deep that they were about to demolish it like Bastille. ******************************************************************************************************

Others, like a big postmodern architect, say that the "house" and institutions that form an assembly is one of the most significant postmodernist architecture was ever built. **********************************************************************************************

“The House of People” represents a big wound in the hearth of the city but also the most visited monument of Bucharest. Arrangement by Ileana Godeanu
