Out in the streets… they call it the WHAT_afrika hitech shoe. Your foot can be resolved in terms of triangles. What started out as a shoe design for a musician, Spacek, ended up as a broader review of cross-disciplinary creativity. Music talked about design so we started thinking about talking about building… which is WHAT_Trapp designer tv talk back filmed in the former Shoreditch Station. Think Mo’ Building!
Magda, Kaja and Ciro scoop an Honourable Mention from the Australian Institute of Landscape Architects for the 2011 Streetworks competition which seeks to temporarily transform Sydney’s underutilised public spaces into vibrant places, building on the aspirations of City of Sydney’s Sustainable Sydney 2030. http://WWW.STREETWORKS.ORG.AU/

“Visiting this practice has been very inspiring for us. From the minute that we walked into the office a friendly and welcoming spirit was evident through the team’s efforts. The atmosphere around the office seemed very fun and relaxed, even though we could see very clearly that alot of hard work has been put into the overflowing work that’s creatively used to decorate the place. Overall, it has all been a thought provoking and visually stimulating experience, mainly because of the team’s free and expressive use of colour and texture in their displayed work, aswell as their ambitious choice in creating such a unique working environment.”

International Womens Day started as a twentieth century Socialist political event blending the culture of many countries, primarily Eastern Europe, Poland, Russia and the former Soviet bloc. So in the WHAT_office today, Dzieñ Kobiet is dedicated to Magda, Ania, Agnieszka and Dorota!
