Description
Temporary architecture is flourishing in our urban public spaces. Branded 'pop-ups' and follies to provide a moment of light entertainment, these structures are actually part of a long history of more holistic architecture that subtly suggests how we could live, work and play more harmoniously together. This book features revealing interviews with 13 young, emerging and socially-minded practices from around the world, as well as critical essays by respected practitioners and thinkers. It provides a personal insight into the architects' experience, design process, challenges and practice, shedding light on the growth of multidisciplinary collectives, community engagement and more participatory ways of designing, making and building. The book showcases highly illustrated projects ranging from innovative structures made from found objects to imaginative concepts for public spaces. With its unique blend of interviews, essays and inspiring examples, this publication will open your eyes to what is possible in architecture.
