Temple 2017: From Tree Mortality to the Desert
Maker Faire Bay Area 2017
May 19th-21st
We will be describing our design for the Temple at Burning Man in 2017. We will mill logs from trees that have died from bark beetle infestation. The boards will be cut and pre-assembled by a team of volunteers in Oakland and will be built in the desert in August for Burning Man.
