Hostel

Since my help for the 747 project was only required before the Burning Man 2018 event I helped another “Theme Camp“ to set up . The theme of the camp was “Hostel“ and it drew inspiration from a Hollywood movie of the same name . We basically built a typical American style timber frame house in the Black Rock City . It took a lot of effort to prepare all the material before the event, transport it and erect it on site in scorching desert heat and sandstorms .
