The students of the Faculty of Architecture, BUT went through the entire process from material research to the realization of the interior of the Veronica Foundation charity shop on Pekařská Street in Brno. The studio took place in several phases - from testing physical prototypes from recycled building materials, through mapping local producers, re-use centers and material banks, to a design carrying a new sustainability aesthetic that gives a second life to concrete, plastic and other residual materials. The result is a unique laboratory of circular design and zero waste, where visitors can literally "touch" architecture.

The Matter Matters project was presented as part of the Finals! studio presentations under the leadership of Barbora Krejčová and with the support of the Veronica Foundation and partner companies Kronospan ČR, Plastic Guys, Red-beton and TXB Group. The student team of FA BUT carried out the implementation: Koželuhová Aneta, Kubala Filip, Murínová Lucia, Nešporová Alžběta, Pečeňová Veronika, Schmiedová Šárka, Snopková Andrea, Adéla Bláhová, Procházková Tereza, Vlček Filip.
