Some background information!

Temporary architecture is the topic we’re going to be tacking for the next couple of weeks starting tomorrow. Recently, we’ve been experiencing more and more ephemeral examples of structures that show permanency isn’t the power of architecture. Community and collective identity of an area can be reinforced by action, reclaiming and redefining! The initiatives often seek to really understand the local needs and regional expressions of inclusivity and unique potential. To have a bit of a head start we recommend this article which features amazing pieces of community architecture that popped up just in 2022: https://www.archdaily.com/993876/community-and-identity-central-topics-in-ephemeral-architecture-in-2022?ad_campaign=normal-tag . The approach we will be taking is adaptive reuse of existing spaces, but it’s good practice to get inspired by a range of examples!
