Though some of the Coachella installations will eventually become permanent public art pieces in desert communities, Mr. Clemente said most of the pieces will be displayed only once. “These are fleeting moments, here: To experience these shows and this art on this scale, you have to be here at Coachella,” Mr. Clemente said. He said Coachella was a unique opportunity to expose festivalgoers to architecture and design concepts they might not otherwise think much about. “You don’t have to bring people to architecture, you can bring architecture to people,” he said. Mr. Kovacs said his office’s piece was meant to be a fun, desert-inspired Instagram backdrop, but it also references Constructivism and Ricardo Legorreta.
