Nevada's summer festival Burning Man has revealed its design choice for next year’s temple. Titled The Temple of Direction, the triumphant structure was planned by San Francisco-based craftsman Geordie Van Der Bosch. It will go about as an eye-getting focal point at the Black Rock City occasion, which happens August 25 to September 2 2019. Check out the photos below.
According to Burning Man journal. "Every year, we explore a spectrum of design submissions from our community’s artists and builders, and we approach our decision with the goal of creating a special physical space on playa for Black Rock City’s citizens to share their reflections.
The Temple of Direction was chosen for its elegant simplicity, and we can’t wait to see his vision come to life!"
The Temple of Direction is a linear space, capturing the elegance and austerity of the torii gates at Fushimi Inari Shrine in Japan, where the artist has previously lived.
The linear lines form a passage that expands into a large hall, eliciting both a physical experience and a metaphorical journey. It’s a space that responds to the openness of the playa by creating a framework that encourages you to travel from end to end.
This linear form reflects the passage of life with its beginning, middle, and end. Throughout the structure there are areas that reflect this journey: narrow & wide spaces, bright & dark spaces, and tunnels that create intimate physical settings. Meanwhile, a large central hall, an altar, and many shelves for offerings create the setting for our collective experience.
Lanterns will decorate the exterior and interior of the 180-foot-long, 37-foot-wide, 36-foot-high Temple, and there will be four entrances facing the four cardinal directions of Black Rock City, 12, 3, 6, and 9 o’clock.
