Geodesic Temple
Project for a burnable sculpture by Disorient in 2011
Presented at Burning Man, Coachella, Figment, Electric Zoo etc.
Description: a modular, self-supported, burnable sculpture made of platonic solids.
GeoTem 05 (Octahedron)
Media:GeoTemOcta01.skp
Height: 52 feet. All octahedrons are the same size.
GeoTem 04 (Octahedron)
Media:GeoTemOcta01.skp
Height: 36 feet. All octahedrons are the same size.
GeoTem 01, 02 (Icosahedron)
Media:Geodesic_temple_2011.skp
Height: 91 feet. All icosahedrons are the same size.
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?
Same polyhedrons are used for Dex transformation.
Camp frontage uses same polyhedron.
Funding:
- Apply for grants: Figment, Burning Man;
- Coachella, Electric Zoo
Notes:
- Loops help with structural integrity. How do we make loops using respective polyhedrons?
