Looking for a unique design-build experience this summer? Well, you're in luck because non-profit design laboratory Space Saloon has announced its third annual design-build festival, DeSaturated. Created in collaboration with design studio and campsite residency group Designers on Holiday and rural resilience group Blue Sky Center, the eight-day design festival aims to bring a one-of-a-kind immersive experience that is open to all students and young design professionals within the disciplines of art, design, and architecture.

The festival invites individuals to experience a hands-on approach to architectural research, experimentation, and prototyping. Spanning over eight days in New Cayama, California, this year's design brief focuses on water scarcity. 

According to the program's directors, Danny Wills and Gian Maria Socci, "Participants will engage directly with a diverse group of interdisciplinary experts, gain experience in a variety of hands-on design and construction techniques, and experience an empowering social environment with musical performances, lectures, and public events."

This year's team leaders include: 

Deborah Garcia and Brooke Holm (NNASA), Galo Canizares and Stephanie Sang Delgado (office ca), Yara Feghali and Viviane El-Kmati (Folly Feast Lab), Cameron Kursel, Eli Liebenow and Julia DiPietro (Definitely Not Architecture), Lauren MacDonald, and Daniele Frazier.
