Arne Quinze and ephemeral architecture

Wednesday, October 27, 2010



Arne Quinze, a Quinze & Milan Studio designer, created this huge structure for Burning Man festival, which was celebrated in Death Valley. Quinze’s work was the biggest one, and was made with 150 kilometres of wood strips, and was made in approximately 3 weeks.
This structure is a good example of ephemeral architecture, which involves the creation of architecture, not a “solid” one that resists the passage of time, but something special that is creating in a very short time and disappears or changes its location quickly.
For instance, this work was finally burned at the end of the festival.
