2018 버닝맨 페스티벌의 메인 템플 공개

 

The design of the main temple at Burningman 2018

 

 

 

 

2018년 버닝맨 페스티벌 Burningman Festival 의 메인템플 main temple 디자인이 확정되었다고 한다. 아아아 이번에도 너무너무 멋진 것. 에너지가 쇠해지기전에 꼭 가고싶은 곳인 블랙락시티 Black Rock City 대한 로망은 이런 소식들이 올라올때마다 더욱더 커지고 있다. 내년에 열릴 페스티벌의 메인 템플 디자인은 Mamou-Mani Architects의 Arthur Mamou-Mani가 맡았는데, 홈페이지(https://mamou-mani.com/)에 들어가 살펴보니 여기서 해온 디자인들은 가히 나는 범접할 수도 없는, 캐드나부랭이로는 실현시키기 힘든 그런 작업들을 해 온 곳이었다.

 

 

 

 

 

20개의 조각(?)으로 시작된 트러스구조의 목재는 불교에서 사람들이 만다라에 이르기를 바라는것과 같이 점차 가늘어지며 또 가늘어지며 하늘을 향해 올라간다. 갤럭시아 Galaxia 라는 이름이 붙여진 이번 템플은  "갤럭시아는 알려지지 않은 별들, 행성들, 블랙홀들, 꿈에서 소용돌이치는 은하의 움직임에 대한 희망을 경배한다"는 것이라고 주최측은 설명한다. 매년 그 해의 주제가 심오하긴 하지만, 굳이 그걸 이해하려고 노력하지 않아도 버닝맨 페스티벌은 그 자체로 너무 탐나는 장소이자 축제니까능!!

Burning Man Arts is thrilled to announce that we have selected the 2018 Temple: Galaxia by Arthur Mamou-Mani!

 

The Design

Galaxia celebrates hope in the unknown, stars, planets, black holes, the movement uniting us in swirling galaxies of dreams. A superior form of Gaia in Isaac Asimov’s Foundation series, Galaxia is the ultimate network, the fabric of the universe connecting living beings into one entity.
Galaxia is shaped of 20 timber trusses converging as a spiral towards one point in the sky. The triangular trusses form different paths towards a central space holding a giant 3D printed mandala, the heart of Galaxia. The timber modules start large enough to hold small alcoves in which people can write in peace. As participants walk through the path, the timber modules lift up and become thinner and thinner towards the sky as people reach the central mandala.

 

The Artists

Arthur Mamou-Mani is a London-based French architect and director of Mamou-Mani Architects, which specializes in a new kind of digitally designed and fabricated architecture. He is a professor at the University of Westminster and owns a digital fabrication laboratory called the Fab.Pub.
For the past six years, he and his Masters of Architecture students at the University of Westminster in London’s WeWantToLearn studio (with Toby Burgess) have been bringing art installations to Black Rock City: Shipwreck, Fractal Cult, Hayam Sun Temple, The Infinity Tree, Reflections, Bismuth Bivouac, and Tangential Dreams, which won the prestigious Architizer A+ Award in architecture in 2016.
Arthur is an advocate for a new approach to architecture in which the architect is also the maker. Sounds like a perfect fit for Burning Man, right? His work matches 3D modeling tools like Rhinoceros and Grasshopper 3D with fabrication tools like laser cutters and 3D printers. By encouraging his students to design and build art installations at Burning Man, they are able to receive on-site mentorship and unique hands-on building experience that isn’t available in a university context.
This relationship between Westminster and Burning Man speaks to the growing relationships we are building worldwide with schools of architecture and urban planners. Black Rock City is, in fact, a city — a place where we create spaces for human experiences and provide opportunities for learning. We’re also excited to have an international Temple as a reflection of the increasingly global nature of our community.

 

How You Can Get Involved

Building the Black Rock City Temple is a significant undertaking. It’s also a chance to realize a dream and create a space for thousands of participants to have meaningful experiences.
Interested in joining the Temple Crew? While Arthur and his team already have some roles filled, they will be looking to the community to help bring the Temple to life. The build is planned to take place primarily in Reno, and interested folks from other locations can get involved, too. We expect a call for volunteers to come sometime in the spring.
Building the Temple is a big financial commitment, and the grant covers a portion of the total expenses. If you’re looking to make a year-end tax deductible donation, we’re pleased to share that Burning Man Project is fiscally sponsoring this year’s Temple project. Please visit their fundraising site If you’re interested in contributing.
