Author: KOSMOS Architects
Temporary Tecture is a fundamental statement on the impact and significance of temporary infrastructures in the city: not only do they en- sure the functioning of numerous processes – from construction and dismantling to orienta- tion and protection – but they also shape the cityscape significantly as an overarching struc- ture. Despite their omnipresence, these struc- tures of necessity continue to lead a shadowy existence in both professional discourse and public perception.This book opens up a new perspective on what is described here for the first time as contem- porary vernacular architecture. It shows that it even offers an architectural language from which architects can learn in terms of adapt- ability, use of local resources, circular economy and conceptual radicalism.
