Hello Wood's Art Shield Pavilion for Vörösmarty Statue Conservation

Hello Wood's Art Shield pavilion is a unique solution for protecting the Vörösmarty statue in Budapest from the damaging effects of winter weather while maintaining its visibility and inspiring visitors with a contemporary design. The pavilion, designed by Chief Designers András Huszár, Péter Pozsár, and Dávid Ráday, along with Design Architects Tamás Fülöp, Péter Oravecz, and Brückner Dóra, offers a temporary, reusable structure that can be swiftly assembled and dismantled each winter season.

The pavilion's steel structure and birch plywood roofing, created using parametric software and CNC machines, provide a translucent, protective facade that shields the statue from the elements without obstructing its view. This innovative design approach sets the Art Shield apart from traditional plastic cover solutions, offering a visually inspiring conservation solution that respects the historic environment.

Recognized with a Silver A' Design Award in 2020, the Art Shield pavilion demonstrates outstanding expertise and innovation in cultural heritage and industry design. Its unique blend of technical excellence and artistic skill has earned accolades for its remarkable level of excellence and positive impact on visitors.
