• Resumen

  • Working affirmatively with a social agenda often requires creating structures for those who need them most in a crisis situation, whether triggered by an environmental disaster, human conflict or long-term poverty and deprivation. A crisis, though, tends to require an immediate, provisionary response rather than a permanent solution. Martyn Hook, Professor of Architecture at RMIT University in Melbourne, explores the ‘pop-up’ tenure of affirmative architecture internationally, as exemplified by the work of TYIN tegnestue Architects, Shigeru Ban Architects, Tezuka Architects and Monash Architecture.
