Log is a relational platform that mediates encounters between people and landscape. As a collective infrastructure, it was imagined, designed, and built by Madalena Vidigal, Diogo Amaro and Antônio Frederico Lasalvia with Robida. Made from locally sourced wood using traditional and experimental techniques, it serves at once as a bench, table, scaffold and stage. Its making opened up a place that is now used to gather, rest, observe, play and dream.
Log: notes on building-with is the book, designed by Heike Reneé de Wit, which recounts the story behind it. This publication is a glimpse into what happens when building becomes a form of learning-with; and how architects, when entangled with craftsmanship, collective making and ecology, become less concerned about objects than about relations.

Log would have not been possible without the helping hands of: Marco Scuoch, Blaso, Franz, Valerio Bergniach, Dora & Nino Ciccone, Philipp Kolmann and Zest kollektiv.
Log was built and designed as part of the Uncommon Woods and Uncommon Folds residencies, which were supported by Culture Moves Europe.
