Together we will savor not only ideas and insights, but also a glass of fine wine to experience terroir in all its forms. Let's decipher the infinite complexity of places and see how architecture, like wine, can reflect the uniqueness of every corner of the world.

"How many cars can a city support? How should they be so that the city tolerates them as well as possible (like antibiotics)? In what regime should they be used? How many car owners can there be? What sense are individual garages with tools and spare parts today? So where do we keep the cars? What roles can the automobile take on in the city? How do we prepare the way there? How do we restructure the city? Should the expected traffic still determine the road infrastructure? Of course not, because it is the other way around. The space given to cars for circulation and parking should be the result of a more judicious division, taking into account the needs of pedestrians, cyclists, utilities and public transport. How do we change traffic relationships? Some cities have implemented solutions with some success. Which of them can be generalized and improved? What goals, strategies and concepts are likely to bring the specialists together, and then with the authorities and users - of the city and of the car? What solutions do we still have? Where do we apply them and how do we adapt them?" - Anca Sandu Tomaszewski We don't know if we managed to answer any of these questions, but we wrote what we thought, inspired by Petre Țuțea's thesis "Aflarea în treabă la români" with the paraphrase "aflarea în traffic la români".

In its condensed form, "the seaside" represents the great place of creative freedom, where the world of the socialist East met the unapproachable West, through architecture and art and the presence of tourists who came here. How authentic can this land of reverie be seen today, when more and more people are talking about true escapes into the freedom of seaside vacations, far away from the tumultuous life of the official resorts, south of Mangalia, in the fishing villages of 2 Mai and Vama Veche. From such a perspective, the famous Romanian seaside seems to be a delusion, an attractive concept wrapped up in public discourse, but, nevertheless, nothing more than a way of making vacationing more regular, nothing more than one of the great socialist projects, a "smokeless industry", as inefficient and artificially inflated as any other socialist industry.
