Expositio BUMA - Entrepreneurship in Krakow's Architecture is an exhibition organised at the turn of 2008 and 2009 thanks to the involvement of scientists and students from the Krakow University of Technology. 20 works depicting historical and current buildings in Krakow associated with entrepreneurship were completed within 5 weeks by young architects. The jury, including Zenon Remi, Architect, Professor Andrzej Wyżykowski, Chief Architect of the City of Krakow, Professor Leszek Mikulski, Deputy Rector for Student Affairs and Borys Czarakcziew, Chairman of the Małopolska District Architects' Chamber - honoured three works. Cash prizes went to Konrad Stafiński, a student of the 3rd year of Architecture and Urban Planning from the Krakow University of Technology (1st place), Anna Wójcik, 1st year of Architecture and Urban Planning at that University (2nd place) and Marcin Kitala, 1st year of Architecture and Urban Planning at the same school (3rd place).
The preview, under the patronage of Dziennik Polski, was combined with the official opening of the ONYX office building, commissioned in autumn 2008. The purpose of the exhibition is to promote Krakow's entrepreneurship-related architecture in business circles. The authors of works for Expositio BUMA selected from 35 buildings chosen by the organiser. The most popular properties depicted by students were Biprostal, Sukiennice (Cloth Hall) and Kamienica Margrabska. "I believe that 'Expositio BUMA' will contribute to promoting Krakow, also as a place of robust business growth" - said Piotr Michalski, representing the BUMA Group.
