WeWantToLearn.net are a postgraduate design studio from the University of Westminster in London known for it’s study of parametric systems, creative flair and rigorous physical and material testing in a search for new architectures.Over the past two years our design studio has successfully built three projects at the Burning Man Festival and this year, with your help we hope to do the same.
Born from a study into the twists and turns of all things helical in the natural world a series of spiraling, helical transitions are connected together with the assistance of complex numbers, theses complex algorithms personify the intelligent intricacies of nature’s creations and remind us of the beauty it can possess, something we often forget.
Bursting from the cracks in the playa a playful structure rises from the ground at two ends sloping gently upwards, entwining. Foot and hand holds form, a path appears, visitors begin to climb towards a small platform above the ground and where they stop to rest. Branching out towards the East and West the journey continues, lifting further upwards, gazing out across the playa and blooming into a beautiful grid of wooden diamonds. A figure of our memories, a myriad of our existence, its infinitude transcends time breathing life into the playa. A rest for our minds, a shelter for our bodies, an eternal, unbreakable, everlasting chain.
Please take a look at our Kickstarter and donate and share where you can. Every contribution will go towards making three projects a reality at Burning man 2015.
