First of all let me explain what is an iconic bulding. A iconic building is when a bilding describes a city, a civilisation, and can be drawn with minimum simple lines. Look here, do you reconize this buildings and the cities that describes them?
Well.. Petronas Towers, Burj-al-arab, Empire State Building, London Eye.. etc
Today, on the road to work, as usual in traffic, listening to the radio i haved heard a news bulettin. The news of the day:
" The working site of Basarab bridge stopped ". Ok .. the flash from my eyes :
"Why that f***ing idiots? After you haved closed 5 main roads to do that, after you let us struggle through traffic the time you worked? Why?" Then the respons loudly and clear from my radio:
"The Bucharest Court: The work is not a public utility and therefore the municipality can't expropiate 5 houses."

NEWS !!
Ok, that's ok, only in Romania could be happening this. Having the same roads as we had in the comunist era , when in all Bucharest were at most 150.000 cars, and today are more than 2 milion ( 1 car for 1,5 inhabitants ).
Icon building? Hmm , why. Look at this picture: 
I firmly belive that this stucture ( building ) will remain an iconic building for Bucharest, for us, THE MONUMENT OF ETERNAL DESOLATION ! That is sad, but is true!
cred ca mai bine spus este un monument al birocratiei din romania, al neputintei autoritatilor, al legilor prost facute, un monument al profitorilor etc. Trist, foarte trist!
