The tree grows in the forest - the tree becomes wood - the wood becomes the house. The woodpassage, a wooden sculpture for the outdoor space, is a memorable representation of this process in the Salzkammergut Capital of Culture. Using simple pictogrammatical symbols, it conveys the transformation from tree to house in 40 stages. This transformation is depicted as if cut out of large blocks of wood, slice by slice. The result is a sensory woodpassage consisting of 4 wooden gates measuring around 4 metres wide, 4 metres high and 5 metres long. It conveys a strong, three-dimensional message even from a distance. As you walk through the illuminated passage, it becomes a playful mouthpiece for the ecological benefits of using wood and timber construction.
