A House dies twice — the first time when people leave it; then it can be saved if they return. The second time finally when it’s destroyed…in some big city where the modern architecture almost pushed out old buildings there are still a number of old little houses with people living there for many years. All these houses must be destroyed according to a general city plan and people living in them must receive flats in new buildings. There is only one possibility for the owner of such a house to save it: let them take the house from its place and put it into a Columbarium - a huge concrete cube standing in the center of the city. But they do it only if the owner and his family continue living in their house — now standing on a shelf in a concrete box. While they live in it the house lives also; but if they cannot live in these conditions anymore and refuse, their house is destroyed. And its place becomes empty, waiting for the next one.
