Temporary architecture is flourishing in our urban public spaces.
Branded pop-ups and follies to provide a moment of light entertainment
they are in fact borne of a long history of more holistic architecture
that is subtly suggesting how we could live, work and play more
harmoniously together. Featuring revealing interviews with 13 young,
emerging and socially-minded practices from New York and Santiago to
London, Berlin and Zurich it also analyses this phenomenon in critical
essays by well-respected practitioners and thinkers. Providing a highly
personal insight into the architects experience, the design process, the
challenges they encountered and how it affected their practice it sheds
light on the growth of multidisciplinary collectives, community
engagement and more participatory ways of designing, making and
building. Including highly illustrated and imaginative projects ranging
from a floating cinema and tiny travelling theatre, through ad-hoc
structures made of found objects and discarded materials, and blow-up
plastic bubbles, to a community lido and market restaurant this will
open your eyes as to what is possible in architecture. Exploring
alternative modes of practice this will provide inspiration for all
architecture students, architects, artists, designers, planners and
developers wishing to create empowering and unique structures in
neglected, disused and sometimes inaccessible parts of our cities.
