Burning Man 2011 with Geodesic Domes
It’s Burning Man 2011 and we are thrilled to be building geodesic domes! It happens every year in the northern desert of Nevada in Black Rock City, and this year we are building 9 domes! BurningMan.com says: “Once a year, tens of thousands of participants gather in Nevada’s Black Rock Desert to create Black Rock City, dedicated to community, art, self-expression, and self-reliance. They depart one week later, having left no trace whatsoever. Burning Man is also an ever-expanding year-round culture based on the Ten Principles. Burning Man isn’t your usual festival, with big acts booked to play on massive stages. In fact, it’s more of a city than a festival, wherein almost everything that happens is created entirely by its citizens, who are active participants in the event.”
For this year’s burn our crew loaded up the camper and the trailer. We packed up our frames, skins, tools, tutus, moon boots, and goggles and headed to the playa to once again build domes in the Black Rock City desert. This is the first year ever that tickets to Burning Man sold out, and we feel it! For the 2011 Burn, we have 9 geodesic event domes to build: a record number! These 9 domes will serve as shelters, music stages, lounges, and galleries. The domes range in size from 16′ – 60′, and can be found at these camps: FractalNation, Feed the Artists, Disorient, DPW, BadLands, and Rites of Spring.
If you are lucky enough to be one of the people who managed to snag a ticket to this sold-out event, follow the horizon to the big beautiful domes, and come say hey. We’d love to hear how our immediate, reliable and mobile shelters inspired and ignited creativity and self-expression on the playa. Hope to see you at the burn.
