This immersive workshop is organized around three parts and three places: New York City, California, and Black Rock Desert. With the desert as a canvas, and Burning Man as a context, this workshop is an opportunity for students to become part of a research team that extracts architecture from situations, rather than places. The Extraction Laboratory continuously questions what it means for architecture to be situational: temporary, systematic, reproductive, interactive. During the workshop, this directive is tested through the development of a spatial roof with structural and material weight.
Schedule
NYC [design + fabrication]: Jun – Aug 21
LV [travel + rv]: Aug 22 – Aug 23
BLACK ROCK DESERT [assemble + festival]: Aug 23 – Sep 3
Methodology and Process
Modes of Operation:
Structure
develop a lightweight structural system suitable for the desert
[ 2000 linear feat of structure as radiused 1-3/8” steel tubing + 2000 linear feet of cross bracing as 1/2” steel pipes ]
Joints
develop a system of joints/ connections that can be easily re-assembled in the desert
[ the team developed 600 connections, with 5 connection types ]
Materials
test and prototype fabric panels to create a layered shade structure
[ 4000 sf of fabric ]
Construction
build/ test structure at Northport, NY site
disassemble / ship structure to Black Rock Desert
[ pack all structural modules + supplies into 6000 cubic feet of shipping container ]
assemble in Black Rock Desert
