About this audio guide
This guide to Carol Park in Bucharest follows Aurel Persu, a Romanian engineer in Berlin in the early nineteen twenties who looked at the boxy cars around him and asked what shape nature gives a falling thing. It touches the patents he won in Germany and America, and the engineer Dimitrie Leonida, whose teaching museum fills a pavilion surviving from the park's opening exhibition of nineteen oh six.
