On Collaborative City, Warsaw-based architectural firm Projekt Praga, BudCud from Krakow and Spanish group Basurama talk about their work.

Projekt Praga -

Working out of the Soho Factory, a converted factory of offices and studios for creative firms on Warsaw’s right bank, Marcin Garbacki and Karolina Tunajek make up this young architectural firm. Their interests include stripping down buildings to a state ready for a refit, at which point Garbacki and Tunajek then work on designing the cleaned up interiors for a new purpose.

Basurama -

Spanish group Basurama wants to change attitudes to trash, and since starting up in 2001 at the Superior Technical School of Architecture in Madrid, the group has exported its gusto for provocative recycling projects to Europe and Latin America.

In Santo Domingo in the Dominican Republic, they turned beach trash into a wavelike plastic public sculpture. In Mexico City, they built pedal-powered vehicles from trash. Other ventures have included encouraging kids to make music from old speakers and car parts in Miami, and making cardboard public sculptures in Argentina’s Buenos Aires.

BudCud -

Krakow-based BudCud’s projects range in size and complexity from small scale work, like the FIU FIU shop interior, to large scale competition-winning urban design proposals, such as Housing Loop. Co-founder Mateusz Adamczyk and Agata Wozniczka talk about BudCud.
