Architecture has an immanent public component since it appears publicly and we are exposed to it against our will. That makes it a perfect political tool. If the set of values of the producer are overlapping with the ones of the dominant political order the architecture represents this order. But if they don't can we express architecture's immanent public component in a subversive manner Reconstruction of a Roman theater in Pula, Croatia served as a fertile ground to expose this question. As an important public work it accumulates high level of representation which was confronted with mute form that rejects any ideological narration of the current political order. As a historic site that is meant to be reproduced in a stage of spectacle it is confronted with an open form that integrates in landscape and refuses to become an object. As a heritage that is meant to become a commodity it is confronted with pure tectonic intervention. Architecture in its subversion is stripped to the bone.
