Cabin Fever 2025

 

Hello beautiful people!

Get ready because Cabin Fever 2025 is taking over Czechia, and we need YOU!

It’s 8 days of full-on creativity, hands-on building, and unforgettable memories. You'll be working with internationally renowned architects, building timber cabins and installations from scratch, in the magical setting of an old textile factory surrounded by forests and mountains.

 

Theme of the Cabin Fever Summer School: “quality time, connection to each other”  – a response to our fragmented world, a redefinition of space and time through spaces that allow us to slow down, be present, and share meaningful moments.

 
 

Cabin Fever 2025 is more than just a summer school, it’s a one-of-a-kind architectural adventure. It's a one-of-a-kind architectural adventure. Each architectural studio (listed on the next page) will design a cabin and lead a team of university students through the entire design-build process. You’re invited to join and build something extraordinary, and if you’re coming as a team, you can also submit your own design proposal on a temporary installation. A unique aspect of the program is that all participating students receive official credit for the completed structures, providing professional recognition and valuable additions to your portfolios.

 

The setting? A former textile factory surrounded by nature in Česká Kamenice, Czechia, a place where history, landscape, and architecture collide in all the right ways. Add in evening events, workshops, bonfires, and a whole lot of good energy, and you've got the kind of summer experience that sticks with you for a lifetime.
