The Silk Road was a Burning Man honorarium art installation led by Julia Logan Trimarco. I did the structural engineering and some carpentry, designed and built the nighttime lighting electronics and power grid, then worked with a stellar team to install it beside the Temple of Grace at Burning Man 2014.

The installation was a series of arches in the architectural styles of each major city along the ancient silk road. After the festival, the wood was reclaimed to build a house, and the electronics were recycled into other art projects.
