We are totally devastated. This happened on 13 May Tuesday from 9 o'clock in the morning. It started on the 7th floor due to leakage of water pipe causing electricity short circuit of a coffee machine. All the books, manuscripts, achiefs, documents, models, collections... are burned to ashes. I used to teach on the 2nd and 5th floor during year 2004-2007.
