MERENGŐ (a place for meditation)
The CsomóPont organization intends to propagate the economic, touristic,
and cultural revival of Covasna County by civilian means.
Its program called NOISE is welcoming creative young people for its summer camp
where they can display their talent in architecture and design among many other fields.
The NOISE creative camp is held yearly organized by CsomóPont and Kreakids Studio
in August, each year in a different town of Háromszék. In 2015, it was the village of Csernáton
that became the "node" of Covasna County, this was the first place where the NOISE camp
is held and where young people were able to show their talents in the camp for the first time.
The MERENGŐ was one of the ˝architecture sculptures˝ built in camp.
Near the small waterfall formed on the stream crossing through the village,
the placement of the 4 m diameter circular meditation point was inspired by the formation
made by the wash of the swelling stream. The installation is a contrast between the organic
forms of nature and the geometric shape of the human hand. This contrast is reinforced by
the blue colour recalling the lime coating of Szekler houses.
