• Resumen

  • There is a profound egalitarianism driving Peter Cook's fascination with pavilions, pop-ups and parasols. They are forms she finds manifested by people in cities everywhere. His every observation drives to the often quirky individuals who make and use these sometimes temporary, often fragile, but enduring structures. He argues for architectures that embrace these myriad constellated moments. It is from these highly idiosyncratic, but astute observations that the possibilities of a new type of architectural intelligence open up drawing on the everyday.
