The Interactivator – National Salon of Architecture 2019

COVER /// AGE

Hello Wood installation on the 2nd National Salon of Architecture

26.04.2019 – 25.08.2019

It is a key comprehensive exhibition of contemporary architecture in Hungary in Kunsthalle Budapest.

With hundreds of buildings and designers featured, this year’s National Salon offers a compelling selection of Hungarian architecture in the past five years, using models, large prints, films, designs, and other forms of documentation and art. Though the exhibition opens after the Budapest Spring Festival, architect Ádám Sylvester will offer a preview of the show and the vibrant variety of the architects it presents, along with their diverse values and mentalities.

The Interactivator

The Hello Wood Studio’s installation attempts to make architecture more visible and bring it closer to the person on the street. The installation aims to encourage visitors to take part in manual, physical activity, and give them an opportunity to interact by expressing their general opinions in the form of data elicited in response to Hungarian architecture.

The symbolic architectural machinery constructed in the hall is essentially a playground that gives visitors hands-on experience of the stages in a linear process, enabling them to deepen their thinking about architecture, while relying on them as collaborators in the creation of an outdoor installation that is the end product of the process.
