"Cabin Fever 2025, organized by Hello Wood, took place in Česká Kamenice, Czech Republic, on the grounds of a former textile factory and wartime labor camp. The event combined an international summer school and design-build festival under the theme 'Quality Time - Connection to Each Other.' Participants from across the world collaborated with Arthur Mamou-Mani [UK], Geoffrey Eberle - Entropic [ES], Mjölk architekti [CZ], and Hello Wood [HU] to construct experimental cabins exploring how spatial design can support intimacy, dialogue, and collective experience."
"Founded in 2010, Hello Wood is a Hungarian architecture studio recognized for its emphasis on hands-on learning and community-based projects. Cabin Fever summer school and festival extends this approach internationally, merging architectural education with socially oriented design. The 2025 edition, developed in partnership with VELUX, focused on the role of light and spatial quality in shaping human interaction. The collaboration reflects a shared design philosophy between Hello Wood and VELUX, that architecture should integrate environmental responsibility, material awareness, and sensory experience."
Cabin Fever 2025 took place in Česká Kamenice on the grounds of a former textile factory and wartime labor camp from July 23 to July 31, 2025. An international summer school and design-build festival brought participants and leading practitioners together to construct experimental cabins that investigate how spatial design supports intimacy, dialogue, and collective experience. The edition, powered by VELUX, marked the first phase of a three-year program focused on material experimentation, craftsmanship, environmental responsibility, and social engagement. Hello Wood emphasized hands-on learning and community-based practice, prioritizing light, spatial quality, material awareness, and sensory experience to shape meaningful social and spatial relationships.
