The Affirmative Qualities of a Temporal Architecture
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.
