The Forest Gallery
believes we should build houses like trees and cities like forests. Rooted in this belief, they built a house high above the Escape forest, on a 50-metre rock, using only five natural materials. A house never glued or screwed—only wood embracing wood—which preserves its resources for at least another two generations. Not a single tree had to be removed. Instead, it found its place and became part of the forest in a circle where everything returns:
Forest. Art. Architecture. Human intention.
Coming together in an Original I am Escape Story, where Erwin Thoma’s craftsmanship and Fabian Knecht’s artwork from our Artist in Residence Program invite us to immerse ourselves in a deeper understanding of the interconnectedness of all things.
What was once outside is now inside.
The resources remain.
The story continues.
