Black Rock City doesn’t exist on any official map.
Even so, once a year this temporary city thrives in the unforgiving Black Rock Desert of Nevada where 80,000 inhabitants participate at the biggest art gathering in the world.
The artistic nature of the Burning Man event, taking place on a vast stretch of hardened mud, invites all participants to create distinctive habitats, durable to withstand a week of extreme, harsh weather conditions, but as well, modular to be dismantled at the end of the event, leaving no physical impact or remains upon its surrounding environment.
Numerous challenges confront everyone: a strict Leave No Trace policy, devastating 40 - 60 mph winds, a scorching sun, unexpected rains and frigid nights; that call for a bespoke habitat built with a mix of sheer improvisation, structural integrity, comfort and yearlong planning.
For architects, designers, urban planners, not to mention students, the book offers a thorough survey of weather-tested temporary and nomadic shelters as seen nowhere else.
This large typology of structures covers hundreds of solutions found in the distinctive layout of a bustling city that disappears after a week to rise again a year later.
Insightful captions and hundreds of resources make it a valuable reference book for years to come in the rising field of ephemeral architecture and urbanism.
