Review:
California Polytechnic University designated a 9-acre plot of land in the hills above their campus as an “outdoor experimental construction laboratory” for their students. Locals and tourists have since given the interesting attraction the nickname “The Architecture Graveyard.” The site is home to an eclectic mix of experimental structures, giving the appearance of an abandoned collection of odd architectural pieces. The structures run the gamut ranging from small sculptures to small houses and everything in between. Each year, the annual Design Village is hosted in Poly Canyon, where the Architecture Graveyard resides. It is a design festival where students create temporary experimental buildings and then live in them for a weekend.
