| Abstract |
In today’s changing society, temporary architecture is gaining importance as an alternative construction approach due to shifting demands.
This study explores the concept and characteristics of temporary architecture by focusing on its temporal properties and its relationship with
events and functions. Examples of temporary architecture from the post-2000 era were analyzed and categorized, offering a fresh
understanding of its relevance in contemporary contexts. In particular, an analytical framework based on ‘temporality’ and ‘formality’ was
used to define the scope of temporary architecture and facilitate case analysis. Temporary architecture was classified into two categories:
‘Fundamental Typology’ and ‘Expanded Typology’, with subcategories based on factors like duration, relocation and reinstallation, spatial
context, and urban function. Furthermore, temporary architecture, when viewed through an avant-garde perspective, serves as a critique of
mainstream architecture, challenging the industrialization and standardization of modernity. From this viewpoint, temporary architecture
becomes a vehicle for participatory and practical architecture, reshaping architectural boundaries. This study aims to broaden the discussion
surrounding temporary architecture, encompassing historical, artistic, and societal aspects to establish its concept and contemporary significance.
A ‘typological classification system’ was proposed to support future analyses of temporary architecture. |
