| ==PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION==
| | -->Welcome to http://geodesictemple.com<BR> |
| Geodesic Temple (GeoTem06) is a modular, self-supported, burnable structure made of octahedrons, a regular polyhedron with 8 identical equilateral triangular faces which is also a geodesic volume and a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Platonic_solid platonic solid]. The octahedron is used as building block to create a self-supporting structure. All octahedrons have similar sizes and are made of 2x4 struts.

|
| The Geodesic Temple is one of the most ambitious efforts attempted by Disorient in its 11 years of existence, yet Disorient has never been in a better place to transform this idea into a success. One of the strengths of Disorient is its community and the tight connections that binds its members. Its base of veteran burners has welcomed newcomers for the past decade, many of which are now part of the core group of DOers (Disorienters). Disorient is always open and welcoming to newbies. 230 DOers camped at Disorient in 2010. The Geodesic Temple is a new direction for Disorient but we are confident that we can build this new piece because of our workforce of literally 100s of on-Playa DOers.
| | Geodesic Temple is a community of tRAVElers exploring the sacred dimension in sculpture.<BR> |

|
| Also discuss:
| | Geodesic Temple (GeoTem) is a modular [[System_of_Geodesic_Temple|system]] that uses the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Octahedron octahedron] as a building block to create self-supporting structures. The octahedron, a geodesic polyhedron, is one of the five platonic solids. It has been used through the ages in sacred geometry and spiritual architecture.<BR> |
| The choice of using the octahedron as the basic module of Geodesic Temple was dictated by the physical qualities of the octahedron. It is the second strongest platonic solids after the tetrahedron.
| |
|
| |
|
| Modularity is one of the core principles of Disorient as expressed in the Disorient Model ( http://wiki.disorient.info/index.php?title=Disorient_Model ). The Geodesic Temple is no exception as it is radically modular. It is exclusively composed of 144 octahedrons, all similar. Each octahedron is made of 24 identical 2x4 struts.
| | Geodesic Temple is an expression of the Disorient philosophy: individual cells work together to create the ever-evolving landscape of life.<BR> |
|
| |
|
| Structural integrity. The way the design of the structure organizes octahedrons in interlocked closed loops helps with structural integrity.

| ==FABRICATION==
| |
| From the experience we have gained assembling our own geodesic domes and our expertise with large scale inflatable structures we understand that precision is crucial at all stages of the building process when putting together large geodesic structures as any mistake will be amplified down the line if not corrected immediately.
| |
|
| |
|
| To reach a satisfying level of accuracy we will have the 2x4 struts cut before they are delivered to the Playa (need quote from wood provider to have them cut the ends of each 2x4s to specification).
| | {{:Geodesic_Temple_footer_nav}} |
| | |
| On Playa we will have cells (cells are teams in Disorient jargon http://wiki.disorient.info/index.php?title=Disorient_Model ) dedicated to a specific part of the assembly process. Members of each cell will become experts at the specific tasks that they need to perform.
| |
| | |
| The different steps of on-Playa assembly are performed in parallel by several cells.
| |
| - Octahedron Assembly Cell creates octahedrons by connecting 2x4s together. Some members of this cell are responsible for quality control. Octahedrons that will not be satisfying will either be corrected or, if beyond correction, used in related projects which require a lower level of accuracy such as Disorient camp frontage or Disorient mutant vehicle transformation.
| |
| - Octahedron Connecting Cell creates "C" modules by connecting octahedrons together on the ground. Two types of C modules are created: "regular" C uses 3 octahedrons, "long" C uses 5 octahedrons. Long C modules are used only at the base of the structure. The 16 octahedrons on which the structure rests are part of 8 long C modules. Both types of C modules can be assembled on their flat side on the ground by a crew of 6-8 using 6' ladders.
| |
| - GeoTem Assembly Cell. Specializes in connecting C modules together. After having created 4 GeoTem04 by connecting two long C modules together with one C module this Cell will connect the top octahedrons of the existing structure together with C modules until the entire structure is complete.
| |
| | |
| ==LIGHTING==
| |
| Options being considered:<BR>
| |
| 1. Elements of New Leo Sign (2010) mounted on the struts. Color: Orange.<BR>
| |
| 2. Sequenced LED fixtures (colorblast type) installed inside and outside the structure. Color: Pornj (pink and orange), Disorient's color.<BR>
| |
| 3. Sequenced LED modules mounted on each outside octahedron connector.
| |
| | |
| ==BURN==
| |
| We understand that the 2x4 struts as shown in GeoTem06 are too far apart for the fire to start and propagate well and we can think of two solutions to remedy this problem.<BR>
| |
| 1. Add combustible material such as hemp bags 3/4 filled with hay inside the octahedrons located in the lower part of the structure (show combustible material placement throughout the structure).<BR>
| |
| 2. Reduce the length of the basic 2x4 strut from 8 feet to 4 feet. The design concept would remain the same but the resulting structure would have more octahedrons, more levels and more wood in general to reach the same dimension (make sketch showing structure made with octahedrons using 4' and 6' 2x4s).<BR>
| |
| We welcome advice from Burning Man experts.

| ==Notes==
| |
| - Interactivity: some elements are left free-standing on the ground so they can be moved/rolled by anyone to reconfigure the piece.<BR>
| |
| - 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?<BR>
| |
| - Camp frontage and Dex transformation uses same polyhedron as Geodesic Temple.<BR>
