It brings together students and professionals across borders, moreover connects everyday people with the designer community. This year the camp was held in the countryside close to lake Balaton, on the premises of an old manor, Csorompuszta, amongst endless cornfields, with an astonishing view on a valley surrounded by hills. The installations were built with respectable team-leaders from Poland, Austria, Germany, England, Spain, The Netherlands and Hungary. Among them were the architects of CODA from Barcelona, who focused on the flexibility of wood with their doughnut-shaped structure called ‘BigO’, Holger Alpermann from The Berlin University of the Arts, who built a huge, funnel-shaped planetarium, while the British architect Oliver Sales and Austrian Bence Pap were inspired by natural shapes and patterns creating the ‘TOM-DOM’ tent. All the participants focused on such everyday interaction forms, that have already stiffened.
