Claret-Cup-LA is an architecture and design studio founded by Bojana Banyasz and Donatella Cusma with office based at the Brewery Art Colony, in Los Angeles. It began as a collaborative workshop investigating the value of architecture both as a discipline of making and a catalyst for social engagement in public space. Since then we have been building, making, screen-printing, cooking, installing, curating, exhibiting, building, teaching, as a way to interrogate the discipline of architecture on ways of connecting people to place and narrative through materiality, experimentation, and craft.
