ABSTRACT
In literary studies, the expression mise en abyme signifies a story within the story, a sub-narrative that serves as a model to decipher the hidden structure and elements of the main narrative. Godor Klub, a cultural center was established soon after the completion of the parking garage at Erzsebet Square. In 2002, an architecture firm was invited to run the centre temporarily before long-term plans about its management come into force. Originally, the architects' responsibility was to assure the technical functioning of the complex, but soon the responsibility of program planning also fell on the firm. The administrative fragmentation that blocks joint development and renovation operations is a result of deeply democratic intentions. Determined to break with the centralized system of the communist regime, Democratic lawmakers burned into the Constitution of 1990 the principle of local autonomy, disabling larger cities from developing comprehensive national strategies.
