Revision as of 13:41, 13 January 2011
A modular, self-supported, burnable sculpture made of polyhedrons by Disorient at Burning Man 2011.
Preliminary Sketches
GeoTem 05 (Octahedron)
Media:GeoTemOcta01.skp
Height: 52 feet. 55 similar octahedrons. 24 2x4x8' studs per octahedrons = 1320 studs.
GeoTem 04 (Octahedron)
Media:GeoTemOcta01.skp
Height: 36 feet. 57 similar octahedrons. 24 2x4x8' studs per octahedrons = 1368 studs.
GeoTem 01, 02 (Icosahedron)

Media:Geodesic_temple_2011.skp
Height: 91 feet. All icosahedrons are the same size.
Specs and Notes
- Possible materials: wood, cardboard, paper... Probable material: 2x4 wooden studs.
- Lighting: multiple opportunities. Elements of new Leo Sign could be mounted on the struts. One strobe pointing inside each polyhedron.
- Some elements are left free-standing on the ground so they can be moved/rolled by anyone to reconfigure the piece.
- Skin: sides can be (partially) skinned individually. Skinning the structure would help with shade, burn and lighting but would create more resistance to wind which is a problem on the playa. Maybe only lower parts of the structure are skinned?
- Camp frontage and Dex transformation uses same polyhedron as Geodesic Temple.
Funding:
- Grants: Figment, Burning Man;
- Coachella, Electric Zoo, etc.
Notes:
- Loops help with structural integrity. How do we make loops using respective polyhedrons?
