design, renderings and fabrication drawings for sculpture at burning man 2018, with collective70.
collective70 was approached by a burning man camp to create a large dog sculpture that would burn to honor the memory of a late camp member. we worked closely with the client, structural engineer, as well as burning man experts to ensure that the design would be intimate, iconic, and also burn safely. additionally the sculpture was designed to ship flat and be assembled in just a few days with a crew of about 5 people in the desert. the dimensions, wood spacing, detail design, and material choices all made the project easy to install and burn spectacularly despite challenges posed by the environment.
