Diébédo Francis Kéré's colourful towers among installations and artworks at Coachella 2019



With Coachella music festival kicking off last weekend, Dezeen has picked out five of the bright and wonderful installations filling the Californian desert site.

Sarbalé ke by Diébédo Francis Kéré
Colourful triangles form screens around these 12 towers that Diéédo Francis Kéré has installed on Coachella's site in Indio, California.
The Berlin-based architect drew on the baobab tree in his native West African village of Gando, Burkina Faso, to design the structures as a place of shade and hub for festival goers.
"In my culture, the baobab is the most important tree," said Kéré in a project description. "It's the place where you get together, celebrate, and discuss," he added. "It also attracts animals. It is spiritual. Naturally you will walk toward it."
HIPO by Dedo Vabo
Artist duo Dedo Vabo has imagined a group of hippos has built this topsy-turvy rocket to make it to outer space. Called Hazardus Interstellar Perfessional Operations, or HIPO for short, the installation also comprises a laboratory and mission control center where the hippopotamus are envisioned working away.
"The hippos' lack of intergalactic experience never dampens their determination to construct and launch a rocket and claim the dominant position in the interspecies space race," said the studio in a project description.
