When Burning Man had its first burn, on the shores of Baker Beach, no one expected it would need a city planner, but by 1997, it did.
Burning man founder Will Roger recruited his friend, and Bay Area resident, Rod Garrett to plan and design the now famous C-shaped Black Rock City.
Rod Garrett died last week at 74, just before the 25th anniversary of the festival's founding, says the New York Times.
