About the project (provided by the applicant)
The images of a meadow—such as flowers and grass—are collected into the “Stog” project. We gather the most valuable elements, reflecting the beauty and uniqueness of the environment in which we work.
Our “Stog” was created during the 2025 DRREVOLUTION workshop on contemporary wooden architecture and demonstrates the potential of wood as an outstanding building material.
The structure is supported by six columns. Eighteen rhythmic braces and 24 wooden hoops define its volume. Planks, each retaining its natural curvature and texture, are attached like sheaves. Together they form a dynamic, breathing body. The swaying of the suspended elements in the wind mimics the movement of grass and flowers, making the structure appear transparent and delicate, as if growing from the ground with the meadow.
“Stog” provides shelter. In its shade, under the gentle clatter of the suspended elements, visitors can rest, smell the wood and meadow, and experience the essence of the place as it existed before us and will continue to exist afterward. Winds will blow, herds will pass, grasses will bloom, and travelers will come seeking shade.
