The Temple Stage at Parklife 2014
For Parklife this year, The Warehouse Project wanted to make a statement and asked Designer Paul Atkinson to design something special for their 20,000 capacity outdoor dance arena. His concept was centred on a space-age Mayan temple that had been discovered in Heaton Park. The feel of the design was industrial jungle meets space invaders. Known for our inventive, solution finding approach, NoNonsense was asked to bring the design to life.
