Hello Wood, a festival of art with ...wood in Budapest.

Dubbed the Woodstock of architecture, “Hello Wood” is a week long maker's festival where around 120 young designers get the opportunity to work alongside architects, artists, makers and other experts, in a free exchange of knowledge and culture. The aim is to strengthen the notion of thinking and working in a context where commitment to community is at the heart of the agenda. At the end of the week long art camp,12 installations were created which are then judged by the jury of professionals. This year Polish Moomoo Architects were the winners with their piece, “Poliphony”. The festival's participants were drawn from around the world, and were asked to work around the theme “step closer”. The title of the brief alluded to two notions: working closer together, to nature and to the environment, but also as a call for young designers to step out of their sophisticated digital environments into a world of physical and social connections.
