Adam Wlazel: Meadow Gazebo

The meadow gazebo forms the heart of the meadow. Its simple construction is permeable from all sides and allows not only people, but also the surrounding landscape and natural elements - wind, rain, sun - to enter... It is a meeting point for forest symposiums, where people cook, eat, debate and sometimes even sleep. It looks seemingly ordinary and unassuming - a tin roof, wooden columns covered with five-leaved ivy, rainwater barrels under the eaves, but its proportions are well thought out and capable of transforming into a cinema, a garden restaurant, workshop facilities and sometimes even a hayloft.

Adam Wlazel is an architect and co-founder of MAK!, a studio dedicated to working actively with communities and objects in public and other spaces, in addition to conventional architecture. He studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Prague and UMPRUM.
