Residential

Residential

In the contemporary urban landscape, and it seems in particular in the romanian one, recently built residential complexes appear to be inherently paradoxical. They are marketed and presented as true oases of civilization in themselves. Looking at all the promotional materials, at a first glance, one might be fooled to believe he gains access to a paradise. All possible services, utilities and accommodations appear to be at a fingertip's reach.
Of course, as common sense probably dictates, this is not quite the case. Problems often plague the sites such as lack of proper utilities, difficult neighborhoods or various construction liabilities due to the quickened building process. In short, they are often far from the self sustained "paradise" complexes the potential buyer imagined them to be.
Likewise, when reaching the vicinity of such a residential complex, another issue emerges and makes itself clear. Real estate logic (and space) forces these types of buildings to rise in either the periphery or the relatively secluded areas of a city. The formed landscape is thus, more often than not, that of an isolated small village instead of a cradle of civilization. The constructions themselves, seldom filled to even a third of their capacity, give off the air of abandoned towns.
One cannot shake the feeling this is, ironically, a ghost island.
