Hello Wood 2013: Step Closer! Back for its fourth year, the creative camp Hello Wood was held last month in Hungary, set in the countryside north of Lake Balaton.
At Hello Wood, 120 young designers and architects worked with leading experts to create installations which approach issues of society and community in architecture, ideas encompassed by this year’s motto “Step Closer!” Twelve teams had one week to create these installations using timber as their primary material, with the projects being judged and a winner awarded at the end of the week. Read on to find out about the installations, and which one was judged the winner, after the break e-motion TRACK Lead by Gabor Zoboki and Andras Csiszer of Zoboki Demeter and Partners Architects, this 20 meter long passageway was constructed of linked moving parts. iWood LINK (Kapo_cs) This structure was designed and built without screws or bolts, only using string ties to connect the pieces of timber.

Anne Lindberg Transforming Space with Thread. Anne Lindberg’s recent work essentially redefines space using thread.
Bordering the definintion of architecture and sculpture, Lindberg allows color and light to manipulate the hundreds of millimeter-thick strands to create a web – a three-dimensional volume affixed to the architecture. Each of her pieces is specific to the place in which it is situated, no two identical based on the architecture, its lighting conditions and the space’s use. The pieces are architectural in so far as they are “contextual and integral to the space”, she says. The exhibition of drawn pink (watch the video after the break) ends today at Bemis Center for Contemporary Arts in Omaha, Nevada, while andante green will be on exhibit at the Nevada Museum of Art until July 15th.
ArchDaily asked Anne Lindberg a few questions about her work. ArchDaily: How does the building/space influence your work? AD: Could you tell us about your creative process? AL: Working in studio is incredible; it’s a way of living for me. CCCWall / Kengo Kuma. CCCWall is an installation realized by Japanese architect Kengo Kuma at the important Milanese Fuorisalone 2010 event.
The installation is an anticipation of Kengo Kuma’s first actual architecture ever done in Italy, currently about to be completed near the headquarters of Casalgrande Padana, in Reggio Emilia, Italy. More images and architect’s description after the break. CCCWall: the work of art and its “double” “Casalgrande Ceramic Cloud’s opening with a suggestive virtual preview during Milan’s design week. A fluctuating organza veil, both transparent and impalpable divides the most secluded court among the set-up areas at Milan’s Università Statale for the events organized by Interni Think Tank. The organza selected to represent the concept of space partition is at once a flexible, changing and ambivalent material: every gentle blow of wind is enough to fly it, as weel as every ray of light can easily cross it to make it gleam.
Built to Wear / Ball Nogues Studio. A new installation by Ball Nogues Studio for the 2009 Shenzhen Hong Kong Biennale of Urbanism, in collaboration with American Apparel.
Curator: Beatrice Galilee Temporary spatial installations within urban cultures are a rapidly evolving phenomenon. Unlike “permanent” buildings, these structures nimbly respond to the accelerated temporality of cities on the move like Shenzhen and Hong Kong. Increasingly they provide the urban spectacles that “signature” buildings aim to deliver. Like never before, cities are adorned with provisional environments and architecturally scaled events. Built to Wear, constructed for the 2009 Shenzhen Hong Kong Biennale of Urbanism will be on view from December 5th through January 23 2010 in the underground exhibition space at the Shenzhen Civic Square.
