Hello Wood is a Budapest-based company that designs and builds custom-made, temporary, and site-specific public installations mainly made from wood. Founded by András Huszár, Péter Pozsár and Dávid Ráday, Hello Wood began as an art camp in 2010. Its scope expanded such that it also serves as an architecture and design studio.[1] In 2019 they welcomed a new owner to their team, creative expert, Krisztián Tóth.
As a design studio, Hello Wood uses wood and other organic materials to design and build installations and buildings of various sizes. Along with a few other Hungarian companies, they specialize in contemporary wooden architecture. The company has completed or participated in projects in several countries.
As an educational platform, Hello Wood organizes several activities: the Hello Wood International Summer School and Festival for Architecture for international architecture and design students, the Építész Mustra with the participation of every Hungarian architecture university; Hello Wood Argentina, the Argentinian summer school for architecture for university students;[2] Technika #1, their hometown's, Budapest's first open DIY wood workshop, specializing in DIY woodworking workshops;[3] and Hello Wood Junior, children's design program.[4]
History[edit]
In 2010, architects András Huszár, Péter Pozsár and designer Dávid Ráday founded Hello Wood and organized the first Hungarian Wood Festival.[5] They launched their own architecture studio in 2013, opened their open DIY wood workshop Technika #1 in 2015, spread their international summer school to Argentina in 2017, and merged with children's design program, DEMO in 2018 which became Hello Wood Junior. In 2019, creative expert[vague] Krisztián Tóth joined them as a new co-owner of the company.
Summer school & festival for architecture[edit]
Hello Wood has organized ten international summer schools for architecture.[6] In 2015, they received an Architizer A+ award in the category "Architecture + Learning" for their international summer school and festival for architecture. The 2019 international summer school, the Carnival, took place in Csóromfölde, where they celebrated their 10th camp.
Since 2013, Hello Wood has organized the Hungarian Summer School and Festival for Architecture, which have found their way into the curricula of Hungarian universities with architecture programs.[citation needed] The first four camps took place near Lake Balaton, before moving to Tokaj wine region in 2017.
Argentina[edit]
In 2017 Argentina organized its first Hello Wood camp, following the Hungarian model. The Argentinian camp's main organizers are industrial designer Bea Palacio, architects Mercedes Palacio, Jerónimo Fanelli and communications expert Marcos Llerena.[7]
