Pangaea is Europe’s largest student-run music festival, operating three times a year at the University of Manchester. A few of us, whilst studying at the Manchester School of Architecture, combined our interests in festivals and architecture to create PXA – A subdivision of the decor department, dedicated to building creative structures.
From 2015-2016 I provided design coordination, resolving ways for architects and artists to create their ideas, sourcing materials, organising fabrication and consoling others when a day before the festival opening, rooms were locked off for asbestos clearing.
Below are some of the structure we designed and worked on.
