Temporary Architecture Now! (English and French and German Edition)

About this book

As economic problems make some shy away from grandiose long-lasting buildings a wave of new temporary buildings and architecture is sweeping over the planet. These can have uses from emergency relief to concert or performance venues. Another fascinating area that is covered here is exhibition and fair design a veritable treasure trove of exciting designs that come and go in the space of a week or less to showcase fashion jewelry or design. Fashion shows or art displays are all part of this dynamic trend that includes some of the great names in contemporary architecture like Zaha Hadid or Rem Koolhaas but also many architects that you have never heard of until now!Featured architects and practices include: Werner Aisslinger Atelier Bow Wow Aybar Mateos Cecil Balmond Shigeru Ban Bernardes Jacobsen BIG Alberto Campo Baeza Carmody Groarke Santiago Cirugeda Coop Himmelb(l)au Diller Scofidio Renfro Ecosistema Urbano Olafur Eliasson Ammar Eloueini Essentia Established & Sons Fantastic Norway Mark Fisher Massimiliano Fuksas Laurent Grasso & Pascal Grasso Zaha Hadid Heatherwick Institute of Computational Design Toyo Ito Adam Kalkin Ken Min Architects Koers Mulder Adolf Krischanitz Liu Jiakun LOT-EK MAPT Miralles Tagliabue MOS Eric Owen Moss NASA Ivan Navarro Jean Nouvel OBRA Architects OMA OMD John Pawson Philippe Rahm Raumlabor Berlin Francesc Rif Michel Rojkind Rotor Toms Saraceno SO-IL Tamassociati Javier Terrados Cepeda UNStudio Helena Willemeit Tokujin Yoshioka
