Galaxia<\/em> celebrates hope in the unknown, stars, planets, black holes, the movement uniting us in swirling galaxies of dreams.
\nA superior form of Gaia in Isaac Asimov’s Foundation<\/i> series, Galaxia<\/em> is the ultimate network, the fabric of the universe connecting living beings into one entity.
\nGalaxia<\/em> 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<\/em>.
\nThe 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.
\nThe London-based French architect Arthur Mamou-Mani<\/a>\u00a0is the designer of this amazing structure that is going to be built during the\u00a0\u00a0Burning Man<\/a>\u00a0festival from the\u00a026th of August to the 3rd of September 2018.
\nArthur is an advocate for a new approach to architecture in which the architect is also the maker in line with Burning Man\u2019s ethos. His work matches 3D modeling tools like Rhinoceros and Grasshopper 3D with fabrication tools like laser cutters and 3D printers.<\/p>\n

Building the Black Rock City Temple is a significant undertaking.
\nIt\u2019s also a chance to realize a dream and create a space for thousands of participants to have meaningful experiences.
\nBuilding the Temple is also a big financial commitment, and the grant covers a portion of the total expenses.
\nIf you\u2019re looking to make a year-end tax deductible donation, we\u2019re pleased to share that Burning Man Project is fiscally sponsoring this year\u2019s Temple project.
