Education
We believe that a socially responsive attitude and the utilization of the material constraints in an innovative way, is crucial for sustainable design. Hello Wood has an ability to provide productive reciprocity between a concept, the design and its realization. Our goal is to promote the construction process as a platform for discussion, innovation and exchanging knowledge. Hello Wood is a profoundly democratic opportunity to connect different generations, designers and artists with various cultural, academic and professional backgrounds.
Hello Wood started as an art camp in 2010 for students in architecture and design and has grown into a unique art camp & festival involving more than 20 universities and 30 countries, seeking sustainable and replicable models for achieving social benefits and improving quality of life through architecture and design. It is a possibility for learning based on making and a great opportunity to break down the walls between different generations, to connect in ways that are beyond the walls of universities.
Hello Wood's first architecture summer school and festival dates back to 2010. Since then we have organized 10+ summer events for international students and professionals, always focusing on different architectural problems.
Our program focusing solely on Hungarian students and architecture universities started in 2013. Since then the project outgrew itself and got integrated as an elective course in Hungarian schools. It's not only about the 1-week-long building, it is preceded by a semester full of designing and planning, led by teachers with the students being fully involved.
Hello Wood can proudly say that one of Europe’s leading architectural summer universities expanded across borders. Hello Wood’s creative camp has become an export, along with their teaching methods, and in 2017 Argentina organized its first Hello Wood camp, following the Hungarian model.
Throughout the years we have organized several exhibitions, conferences, workshops and more. Peek inside the world of our events.
Apart from organizing our own summer schools we attended several projects and festivals all over the world (USA, Uruguay, Poland and more). Browse the list and check out the projects and installations.
