The complexity of the hitherto less known Central-Eastern European exhibition architecture is demonstrated not only by the variety of cases analyzed, but also by the diversity of scholarly approaches applied. The papers demonstrate the complex political, cultural, social, economic and urban context in which the exhibition architecture was created. In the papers the pavilions are considered hubs of architectural and artistic trends, political visions of this culturally heterogeneous territory. The authors analyse temporary constructions erected for national and international exhibitions in the 19th and 20th centuries presenting Polish, Czechoslovak, Hungarian, Croatian, Serbian, Bosnian-Herzegovinian, Yugoslav, Romanian, Russian cases. "German Pavilion for the World Exhibition in Barcelona, 1929” Mies van der Rohe.This collection of essays focuses on the exhibition architecture in Central and Eastern European countries, a region of fluid geo-political conception, composed of multi-ethnic countries with constantly shifting borders. The other application that has the ephemeral architecture, no less important but maybe more discrete, It is of an architecture to support emergency conditions, in which the intervention design can help fix gaps caused by major natural disasters, as can be seen in several of the projects architect Shigeru Ban.Īlthough ephemeral architecture is developed through two different applications, both have a common goal, meet a specific need.Įxamples: (both examples were designed as temporary structures and permanent works have come to be) The clearest and observed by all is an ephemeral architecture "pabellonización", where buildings are made to international fairs and exhibitions are brindadas more design opportunities, materialization experimentation and no other. Today ephemeral architecture could branch into two conceptions. We could say that the ephemeral architecture is defined by its presentation to the forces of nature, however nature does not monopolize the ephemeral, works of art and architecture can also be expressed through the ephemeral. Nowadays, examining our natural environment, We can see that the people have a direct understanding of the natural cycles and obtains the relationship between time and nature, as flowering in spring, the coming and going of the leaves when the wind blows or the formation of a drop until it comes into contact with the ground. Since then the permanence has remained a fundamental concept to understand the current architecture.
The settlement of agriculture led to a new set of structural factors, buildings could remain "rooted" to a site and nearby plots were established on fertile land providing a comfortable place to spend the winter. These structures were temporary, Laptop and Ephemeral. Much of this type of architecture has its origins in the agricultural system, when we went from being nomadic to sedentary and began to weave a modern cultural system, dependent on the stability and permanence.īefore agriculture, humans lived as hunters and gatherers, and we were guided by good weather and we found the resources at our disposal, thus, architecture offered minimal comfort while allowing maximum mobility, freedom and flexibility. However it has not received the attention or interest that you may have an architecture of permanence or greater durability. The ephemeral architecture has existed since the beginning of our story.
We would like to start this article on ephemeral architecture with classic dictionary definition.
