• Resumen

  • Pavilions and pop-ups are most often perceived as standalone objects, but what do transient structures have to offer at the city scale? Peter Bishop, Professor of Urban Design at the Bartlett School of Architecture, University College London (UCL), and a director at Allies and Morrison, explores what temporary urbanism can contribute to the wider metropolis. He describes how when they grow out of the best of intentions and are well executed, pavilions and pop-ups can potentially inject joy and delight, enriching an over-planned and over-regulated city.
