Fundacja BRDA is a nonprofit foundation dedicated to promoting circular-economy principles in architecture, building and design. The Foundation advocates for reuse of building materials and socially conscious, sustainable construction, aiming to reduce waste and support dignified, affordable housing. Through community-driven projects and humanitarian initiatives, we work to turn demolition and surplus building materials into resources - giving them a new life in reconstruction and social-housing efforts. Their philosophy rests on the conviction that architecture and building should be environmentally responsible, socially inclusive, and accessible to all.
