X-space was built as part of the Hello Wood Builder Summit’s international summer school, which returned after a three-year hiatus. This event brought together students, architects, and young professionals from around the globe, who converged for a 10-day builder camp. During this camp, they put their wooden construction skills to the test, honed their collaborative abilities, and actively engaged in on-site design and construction projects. This edition produced a total of twelve distinct wooden installations, challenging the designers to explore, question, and respond to the extractive nature of the construction industry through a narrative centered on space creation.
