"Expositio Buma" - Entrepreneurship in Krakow's Architecture is a project organised by a Krakow-based developer, the Buma Group, in cooperation with the Student Government of the Krakow University of Technology.
His Magnificence the Rector of the Krakow University of Technology, Professor Kazimierz Furtak, Ph.D., Eng. is the honorary patron of the project.
As part of this venture, students of the Krakow University of Technology invited to the project will create fine art depicting architectural structures of Krakow which have been used as venues of commercial business in the past and are still associated with commerce today.
The aim of our venture is to show that commercial business has been a part of Krakow's history for centuries. As early as several hundred years ago, Krakow was a strong city and the main commercial centre of the country. The multitude of historic buildings in Krakow is due not just to its long history, but also the multiple functions that it played as the national capital. The art works will be exhibited to a wider audience, and will thus contribute to promoting Krakow for business. The project will start with the official inauguration of the exhibition, which will be held in the new ONYX office building on January 22, 2009. During this preview, the authors of the best works will receive cash awards (1st place - PLN 3,000; 2nd place - PLN 2,000; 3rd place - PLN 1,000). The project will last until the end of 2009. Various events connected with the exhibition are planned during this time, including periodic shows of the works in office buildings constructed by the Buma Group.
