L'Aquila one year after the earthquake

by Maria Bostenaru Dan, "Ion Mincu" University of Architecture and Urbanism, Bucharest, Romania

A building propped after the 2009 earthquake.
The money was spent on propping, so not real funds remained to retrofit. Instead, neighbourhoods were built outside the city.
This kind of propping inspired artist Michele Lucchi to do an installation.
