                                    The creation of the existing project was based on following parameters:

                                    1. The Heterotopia of the Turkish bath set as a starting point by the curator:

                                    ornamental decoration, embedding geometry, repetition, spatial

                                    continuity between walls, floor and sealing. Water being the dominating

                                    element introduces the notion of transformation: liquid, steam and crystals.

                                    2. The work of Vaso Gavaise which seems to emphasize on similar

                                    issues: geometry, repetition and transformation.

                                    3. The city of the 2.000.000 introduces scale and urban organisation

                                    structures, also set as a parameter from the curators.

                                    The upper named parameters are being instrumentalised in a form

                                    defining mechanism, which transforms the rhombic greed taken as a

                                    starting point from a plane into volume, from volume into surface from

                                    detail into urban structure.
