Cabin Fever 2025 Illuminates Human Connection: Hello Wood and VELUX Explore Light, Space, and Presence

Hello Wood's international summer school, Cabin Fever 2025, in partnership with VELUX, focused on the profound impact of light and space on human experience. Under the theme 'The Art of Presence,' participants designed and built installations exploring how architecture can foster intimacy, connection, and well-being. This hands-on, design-build event merged education with socially engaged practice, emphasizing sustainable materials and the transformative power of natural light. The initiative, known for its community-focused approach, challenged students to create spaces that encourage genuine human interaction, counteracting modern isolation. The collaboration with VELUX highlights a shared commitment to responsible building. The resulting structures serve as tangible examples of how thoughtful design can enhance emotional resonance and promote healthier, more connected societies, offering a forward-looking perspective on the future of architecture.
