Call to Architects to Participate in the Wood Construction Salon 2022

Dear Ms. Architect, dear Mr. Architect,

in 2022, the 17th edition of the SALON OF TIMBER CONSTRUCTION 2022 will take place, the largest non-competitive exhibition of the best in wooden architecture that has emerged in the Czech Republic and Slovakia in recent times. Since 2005, we have presented over 500 excellent projects. From its beginnings, the Salon has aimed to engage the widest possible spectrum of both lay and professional audiences in an attractive manner. Among the participants of the Salon are architects, construction companies, suppliers of materials and technologies, urban planners, developers, and investors.

The Prague premiere of the timber construction Salon will take place on March 25 – 26, 2022 at the Prague Market in Holešovice. It should be preceded by a lecture by a foreign architect, which will take place on March 24, 2022 at the Center for Architecture and Urban Planning (CAMP). Traditionally, we are also preparing an exhibition in Bratislava, which will take place from May 16 – June 10, 2022 at the Austrian Cultural Forum. Our plans may change based on epidemiological measures, as has been shown in the last two editions. However, we hope that this time the restrictions for social events will not affect us, and if necessary, we will be ready to move the event online. It is certain that we will publish the Yearbook of Timber Constructions and, if possible, besides both premieres, there will also be reprises in other cities of the Czech Republic and Slovakia.

We would like to offer you the opportunity to include your project in the selection of the most interesting timber constructions from the past year. If your realization is chosen, we will ask you to pay a participation fee of 1,900 CZK without VAT (for one project) for the presentation at the Salon of Timber Constructions 2022.

By including your realization in the Salon of Timber Constructions, you will receive:

• publication of your project among selected top realizations in the Yearbook of Timber Constructions
• presentation of your realization on a large format poster (60x200 cm)
• the opportunity to present your project to the visitors of the Salon of Timber Constructions as part of the lecture block "Mosaic of Timber Constructions" (subject to current measures); alternatively, with selected participants, we will record short videos presenting their projects
• printed (3 copies) and online version of the Yearbook of Timber Constructions
• visibility of your project and your studio through the event's media coverage
• 2 invitations to the networking evening of the Salon of Timber Constructions (subject to current measures)
• free tickets to the Salon of Timber Constructions for you and your partners (subject to current measures)
• presentation of your project as part of an exhibition in the Czech Republic and Slovakia (in the case of the Czech Republic, the exhibition will take place as part of the Salon of Timber Constructions inside the venue)
• and subsequently for a minimum of 14 days outside at the Prague Market in Holešovice)

In recent years, we have had the honor of greeting prominent architects from Germany, Norway, Canada, Austria, and Scandinavia at the Salon. An integral part of the project also includes the patronage of foreign representations and media support across print and electronic media.

At the same time, we would like to invite you to the Prague Market on Thursday, November 4, 2021, for the opening of the outdoor exhibition of selected timber constructions from the last edition. The exact time and specific location of the exhibition will be updated on our website and on Facebook. The vernissage will be followed by a networking evening with refreshments for selected guests.

We look forward to working with you.
