Pickathon Design Build 2023

"Pickathon is famous for curating breakout bands across all genres! It's an engine of discovery that introduces us to bands before they win Grammy, headline national festivals, or earn a place in your best artist list. It is unlike any other festival you've been to, and no matter what anyone tries to tell you, you really won't understand until you set foot on Pendarvis Farm." - Pickathon.

Our PSU Architecture program maintains a long-time friendship and collaboration with the Pendarvis Pickathon event. Mentored by Architecture faculty member Travis Bell, this annual student-led design project explores design-build methodologies through the construction of a full-scale project meant for public engagement, resulting in a super awesome Pickathon creation! This year as students work collectively to navigate constructional studies, client meetings, consultant meetings, construction timelines, project management, and so much more, they have masterminded a new and unique concept to engage with the concert-goers of Pickathon and the landscape as a whole.
