That temple is amazing, 100% on board with it. It'll be a long, hot burn, bring your potatoes.

Yep, same here maladroit, and I think the Temple is going to look extraordinary in a dust storm as well. It has a sort of Paolo Soleri inspired look to it. My excitement level just ratcheted up a notch! Congratulations to all of the honoraria artists. And a special shout out to Dr. Helix.. Woohoo!

I got all excited when I saw the Temple of Awareness from Utah, then realized it was not The Temple. Ah well.

It is a beautiful piece though, and I am happy it will be there. We had a version of it at out regional last year, sorry for the potato photo.

The Temple looks beautiful!

I love that Temple Of Awareness structure, AntiM, and I like that this year's theme is allowing for a bit more of a decentralization of the notion of temples. So many installations at Burning Man are sacred in some way, and when it comes down to it we're the ones who decide what has meaning for us.
