BudCud (PL) - is a contemporary practice from Cracow (Poland), operating within the fields of architecture and urbanism. The office is led by Mateusz Adamczyk (1981) and Agata Wozniczka (1986). We design complex architectural environments.Our projects are logical and professional elaborations of better and sustainable reality in modern times, designed for the future inhabitants who benefit from a new environment. BudCud’s design process is a constant evaluation of a rational model scheme, defined by both context and experimentation. We are heavily influenced by the project environment, which makes BudCud proposals contextually conscious, but not naive. Implementing such a strategy results in something that is both unusual and unique.
