In 1971, the Shah of Iran held a week-long party among the ruins of Persepolis, leaving the temporary architecture behind when the celebration was done. For Art Basel 2008, "anthropologist of the avant-garde" Michael Stevenson reconstructed one of the guest tents, now a ruin itself, at scale. That project is expanded upon here.
