Without its people, a house is soulless, result of good used building materials. Based on the same (or close enough ) position, the team of the project Fading Sofia explores inhabited and uninhabited crumbling buildings of Old Sofia - not the beautiful facades, but the shadows of all their residents, thousands of stories that still roam them, like ghosts from Dickens story .
Regardless of the slightly melancholic sound of the idea, two of the most active researchers of Fading Sofia - Tzveti Slavcheva and Nevena Germanova insist that the project is driven mostly by enthusiasm, beauty, optimism and the stories throw especially interesting light on the many unknown sides of the city that we love.

Internet sensation Spindermaan (look for him on his new facebook profile, others were deleted) is not just a bunch of profanity, piled one over another, nor literary manifesto dyslexic. Spindermaan is a social project with far deeper than the seemingly obvious intent. We liked the following definition which we found online - " facebook unique character whose words are written in jumbled word order, and some of them have become iconic. Makes accurate, often obscene comments on various topics of modern life - from the ubiquitous stupidity and chalga to the corrupt politicians in the state."
For those who do not need further clarification we will say only that - Spindermaan is one of many, he does not defy football provocations and was very nice to chat with him.
