Temporary Installation at the AIASF’s Architecture in the City Festival

Designers tried to give all that trash a new life by using more than 2000 plastic beer cups for a temporary installation at the AIASF’s Architecture in the City Festival.
The support structure is a steel cable mesh, on which cups with custom laser-cut clips were attached. The low-cost structure can be easily disassembled and recycled for future use.

Temporary Art Pavilion By 4F-K

This is the design of a temporary art pavilion for a competition called TOGS (Temporary Outdoor Gallery Space) by 4F-K. 200 entries from all over the world were received by the organizers. The temporary architecture installation is an outdoor exhibit which provides prestigious gallery space.

From 4F-K:

‘We imagined the pavilion as the foreground of the ‘Light Box’, which we wanted to emphasize as an entrance-gate like design. Walking through the pavilion gives a special space-experience, with the help of this the visitors are prepared of the exhibition.

The unique geometrical construction shows the possibility of the FACIT-system. We endeavored to the statue-like appear at the design of the construction of the pavilion. On this behalf we worked with hidden connections and simple materials. We set light shade canvas between the wooden structural frames.
Mobile furniture system – which can be converted easily – serves the different claims of the three expected scenarios.’

Linx | Temporary Shelter For Permanent Constructions

We’ve seen the container house and the pop up coffee shop, but what about the container construction shelter? Conceived by Dublin-based designer Richard Barnwall, the Linx is a two-story break room comprised of four 20-foot shipping containers. Easily shippable (obviously) and erectable, this temporary structure seems to have everything a construction worker would need, including (it seems) luxury. No more blue porta-potties, the Linx comes equipped with a bathroom, a changing room with showers, office space and a lunchroom. (Evidently Barnwall doesn’t advocate sleeping on the job because there’s no nap room.)
It’s a complex design with four simple components. The modular cabin comprises the living space and comes with an integrated stairway that provides access to other levels / sections via the access module. Sliding doors allow for safe movement and also security during non-use. The corner module links the other components together while the shipping containers provides large, up to 20-foot staging areas to be used however needed.
My question is this: instead of installing this as a temporary shelter for workers who are constructing something else, why not do away with the workers and install this permanently in lieu of whatever they were building in the first place?
