The Galaxy Courtyard, one half of the renowned Galaxy Neighborhood (the other half being the Galaxy Barn), is a unique space that offers a variety of experiences. From late-night DJ dance parties to morning yoga, and from communal fire pit gatherings to a vibrant bar and meet-up space, the Courtyard has it all. Additionally, immerse yourself in the art installation architecture and don’t miss your chance to dance to the vinyl DJ sets by some of Pickathon’s top DJs!
We asked the Galaxy Courtyard team what they have up their sleeve for August 1-4, 2024. Here’s what they said:
For 2024, the Galaxy Courtyard’s design explores the relationship between one’s own sense of wayfinding and their coalescence and celebration with others. As one of the first neighborhoods you experience at the festival, the site merges intentional moments of passage and pause. Consequently, our design intends to interconnect inhabitants inwardly and broadly towards the surrounding neighborhoods of Pendarvis Farm.
As both passage and pavilion, the Courtyard’s skeletal structure carves into the site, activating shared spaces for relaxation, refreshments, and dancing. Blurring the threshold between rest and movement, the site’s gathering areas are inspired by the pastures and horse stable of Pendarvis Farm. Moreover, as the structure reflects the movement of inhabitants below, it also responds to the greater characteristics of the land; a summer afternoon breeze through the trees and pathways meandering through the neighboring forest.
DESIGNERS: Matt Thomas, Chris Cardoza, Bri Haber, Justin Tuttle
