Using 3D models I created in Sketchup proved extremely valuable throughout this project. From the initial proposal to the festival owners to describing the theme of the area to my team of volunteers I was able to quickly give them an idea of what I wanted to build.
Inspiration for the area was taken from the novel "The City of Bohane" by Kevin Barry which in its story is set in the post apocalyptic west coast of Ireland. In the book, he describes the music that is played out in the streets on giant sound systems. We tried our best to

Inspiration for the area was taken from the novel "The City of Bohane" by Kevin Barry which in its story is set in the post apocalyptic west coast of Ireland.
