Introduction
Building Urban Culture (BUC) is an emerging brand that revolves around the world of urban life and street culture. We are located in the beautiful Derbyshire, UK, and aim to explore local spots through the eyes of young individuals. Our focus is on various art forms, including monthly anthems, upcoming and visited events, and digital and traditional art.
We’re proud to showcase our first launch of what we have to offer, after months of dedication and indecisiveness we are finally ready to bring light into a creative world of underground life.
Our brand is designed to express positivity and create a community with like-minded, talented and artistic individuals. A digital place many can come onto, to search for our monthly anthems, favourite spots around England and art that can inspire you to love what life has to offer in many creative ways.
Our brand ‘BUC” is an ongoing growing project that will elevate and expand over time and we hope you join us on this journey.

This month's post will be based on a recent trip to the capital of the UK, London. The most known place in England has so much to offer in history, art, and music events.
In our gallery section, we share some of our highlights from the trip, including some interesting art pieces from Tate Modern, The National History Museum, and a few architectural structures located around the city center.
One interesting quote we saw at Tate Modern states “I am the curator of my own misery.” - Douglas Gordon 2010.
This quote particularly stood out as Douglas has a way of capturing life uniquely with the intent to think outside your thoughts.
