General description

Leave all the technologies and go inside a time machine with us. One more thing. You cannot be afraid of getting a little bit dirty. Put your hands in the clay and create, form your ideas and bring them to life!

Leave a relic of the future in the city full of relics of the past. Give a fresh and crazy breath to our students city. Build and decorate a place for you, me and all the others. What will it be? Who knows ;)
