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.
