founded by magda szwajcowska and michal majewski, wrocław-based no studio’s portfolio contains works that range from temporary architecture to product design to small architecture. for the local festival DoFA (lowersilesian festival of architecture) they have created the ‘microinstallations’, a series of small interventions in the urban space that aims to restore the forgotten city and its neglected locations. the project is located close to the historic bridge, on some unused concrete stairs that lead to the river, where the studio has placed simple half-chairs, half-sunbeds to recover the area, inviting people to sit down, sunbathe, and enjoy the view. ’microinstallations’ showcases a minimalistic design and was made with little financial resources. the project thinks the whole city based on needs analysis and exploration of rifts in urban planning.
