Three students from Diploma Studio 10 (DS10) at the University of Westminster have received grants to see their designs realized at this year’s Burning Man festival. The projects - The Infinity Tree, Reflection, and Bismuth Bivouac - are temporary pavilions that will provide respite for festival-goers, each with a unique experiential quality to captivate the masses.
Drawing upon the 2015 Burning Man theme “Carnival of Mirrors,” the three pavilions will explore the illusory and enchanting qualities of old-fashioned carnival culture while serving as functional spaces of rest and shelter from the Black Rock Desert sun. These and other installations will make up a “temporary metropolis” from August 30 to September 7.

They’re lucky, as their names will probably be displayed. I went to the Kent State Architectural School, and everything I did as a student, they owned. As a Freshman, I designed a modular Grade School system. Twenty years later, I pulled into a small town South of here, and lo and behold, there was my school! I wonder how many them were built?
One of these days I’m going to to Burning Man.
Have friends who have gone and they had a great time.
I went to a school in Broward County, Florida that was being studied by educators and administrators from all over the planet circa 1969 or so. Same one?
—was on my list, too, but it’s gotten expensive and the left-wing dot com billionaire types get special treatment——
They get “special treatment” at every other venue, why should Burning Man be any different?
And to think Malcolm's dad went on to make copious amounts of high grade meth.
