Hello Wood is a multicultural and multidisciplinary art program. Their most well-known event is the one week creator camp held every summer, where recognized experts and artists share their knowledge with talented students.

All work produced is carrying two attributes: it’s mostly from wood and it’s characterized by an interplay of art and social commitment. Hello Wood integrates various fields of art, design and science; it creates community and encourages talent. It brings together students and professionals across borders, moreover connects everyday people with the designer community.

We are researching how could the bond amongst nature, our artificial environment and humans become tighter. With the tools of design and architecture we are looking for an answer to the question: How could we get at least a step closer?

Hello Wood will focus on designing and creating 8 wooden installations. Considering past experiences (everybody prefers to build) in 2013 they will not separate the workshops by profession.
Besides architects, experts from different fields of art are invited as well to apply. You can be an architect, painter, sculptor, landscape architect, graphic designer, musician, ninja etc. The application procedure offers an equal opportunity for everyone.

Creo que siempre es interesante ver en aplicación nuevos materiales y en particular cuando es el caso de uno que no solo es eficiente en cuanto a prestaciones [resistentes, aislantes, estéticas…] sino que va mas allá por las implicaciones que conlleva su ciclo de vida, desde su extracción [siendo la madera el único material realmente sostenible cuando se garantiza la procedencia de bosque de gestión responsable]  hasta su reciclaje y destrucción…  Este edificio cobra singularidad e interés por varios aspectos como su enclave en un entorno urbano, ser un edificio “en altura” por las limitaciones que impone su sistema constructivo, y combinar en su diseño estuctural la concepción del  sistema tradicional “Balloon frame” con la industrialización que ofrece el mercado de la madera, en esta caso laminada…
