Hello Wood – which has attracted the attention of such legendary architects in the last few years as Urban Think-Tank from Zürich or Kengo Kuma from Japan – can also proudly say that one of Europe’s leading architectural summer universities expanded across borders. Hello Wood’s creative camp has become an export, along with their teaching methods, and in 2017 Argentina organized its first Hello Wood camp, following the Hungarian model.
“After a year of preparation, we passed on to the Argentinians all our knowledge and experience in a single bundle; their use of the brand was dependent on observing strict conditions. In the first year, 600 people applied for the Argentinean camp, and it was fantastic to see Hello Wood’s approach succeed perfectly abroad as well,”
Péter Pozsár commented.
The theme of Hello Wood Argentina’s first summer camp was "Con-Tacto" (Contact), located in Ceibas, Entre Ríos. Curator Jaime Grinberg selected applicants with strong concepts to generate spaces that encouraged connection, whether traditional, functional, utopian, or idealized. Concepts also needed to be simple, natural, and feasible for a team of students to produce in a week.
