Skeleton

This is a building I like and I've showed you before, but only recently I found out what it was.
It's the former headquarters of the fierce "Direcţia a V-a"(The Fifth Direction), the most dreaded part of the "Security", the political police during Ceauşescu's regime. On top of these premises, ruined during the 1989 revolution, the Architects' Association built the new structure for their use.
I like the symbol of old and new, of progress supported by history, but most of all I hope that what the old building hosted will always be a skeleton.
