In Guria students completed "Mschvidoba," transforming a school ruin in Khevi into an open-air cinema. Inspired by David Bostanashvili's lectures on the "Poetics of the Ruin" and "Poetics of Architecture," the project reflects philosophical ideas about 'un-built' architecture. The new Danarti issue, developed with students in Tbilisi, explores "Budka" kiosks—small, citizen-built structures for businesses. Documented and designed with architect David Brodsky, the issue emphasizes their cultural and architectural importance, based on studies from various Tbilisi neighborhoods.
