CAMPOSAZ + WWF ROMANIA

HISTORY
Camposaz is a wood self-construction workshop in 1:1 scale. It started in 2013 as an initiative stemming from the collaboration between the cultural associations Aguaz and Campomarzio, with the ambition to promote interaction between disciplines and practitioners dealing with architectural design.
The workshop is open to architects, designers, carpenters between 18 and 35 years of age.

ROMANIAN DESIGN WEEK APPEARANCES

2018 // Bison Observatory
The newly designed observatory ‘Tara’ backed by WWF-Romania and Camposaz explores the sensory perception of the environment in Romania and communicates with the symbolic and natural language of the elements. It is like a filter which scans light and reality and gives them form and space, in the pursuit of finding a balance between empty and full spaces, vibrant and harmonious compositions which reveal imperceptible fluxes between lightness and gravity, a balance which expresses itself through the wood, a natural, living material ready to accept a slow but inevitable biological erosion.

The initiative is supported by WWF-Romania and Italian organization Camposaz. The latter promotes the collaboration among young architects and designers coming from all over the world to design and build structures which exploit the anthropized environment or, like in this case, a wild landscape.
