Centrala


Centrala does not have a constant number of members, neither any order of operation to be routinely followed - it is not a company. More appropriately it should be called a platform where individual quests converge around common goals. It is rather a collective of as many people as a task ahead of them requires.

Architects: Małgorzata Kuciewicz, Krzysztof Banaszewski and Jakub Szczęsny constitute Centrala's core. They co-operated as students of Warsaw Technical University on school Project and have been working together since 2002 with focus on projects for architectural contests, of which majority they won or were awarded prizes. Centrala undertakes actions in many scales ranging from graphics, every-day use objects to furniture, urban objects, interiors, houses, office buildings as well as districts or aglomerations. Most of their designs never leave the studio, however occasionaly, something gets built on their ideas: the shop, apartament, the house, hall of sports

Apart from participating in contests and workshops Centrala also takes liberty of commenting upon the current state of affairs in Warsaw by means of a series of "decoy projects" published in press.
