Apollonia

Designer Yves Behar approached Engineered Artworks with a redesign for his Burning Man art car, Apollonia.

As a result, Engineered Artworks completely rebuilt all of Apollonia’s systems from the ground up (new engine, transmission, drive train, engine, brakes, steering, power, lighting, ring fabrication.

“Circles, rings, and how they touch and fit together has always fascinated me, as a starting point of sacred ancient geometry,” said Behar about his inspiration, “and then I discovered the Greek’s Apollonius’ problem on how to construct one or more circles that are tangent to three given objects . . . essentially how to construct tangential circles within circles became my starting point.”
