designed by young architects, ramiro carro and lucas yael ibarra, ?eco-sistema? is a temporary installation realized as a satellite project for hello wood argentina 2020. with the help of volunteers, the structure was built on a rural site outside the village of ceibas in the entre ríos province of argentina. as a network of triangular timber forms the design intends to echo the landscape while defining a new public space as the structure overlaps with the existing forest.

after designing one of these modules, they multiplied them and defined a grid. once at the site, and after choosing the forest they wanted to interact with, the exact position of the trees defined the temporary structure, resulting in the superimposition of both systems, the natural and the devised one.

 
 
the next step was to rotate some of the elements to enable different experiences of connection with the natural surroundings. during its construction, the flexibility of the system allowed it to be easily adapted or changed. once each of the modules was assembled, it was easy to move them to t...
