The Architecture of Burning Man

A nomadic system for continuous use and disassembly

This design team successfully created a catalog of structures based on the same modular, reciprocal framing system. In the application of music festivals, the team designed a barrier, footbridge, small canopy and stage shell. Each of these installations have components that are adjustable, such as the cladding for the shell structure. The variety of the project is its strongest asset, in addition to its physical durability and ability to carry load. The project was a success, and the team is very proud of their work.
