Centrala was established in 2001 by Krzysztof Banaszewski, Małgorzata Kuciewicz, Jan Strumiłło, and Jakub Szczęsny. The group’s line-up has been changing for years; today, the team is comprised of graduates in architecture — Małgorzata Kuciewicz, Jakub Szczęsny, and Simone De Iacobis — and a number of architects, designer, and artists cooperating with them.
