The lightness of the temporary building comes not only from the structure, but also from whether it can change, migrate and continue to serve.Tabassum brings the tradition of shelter, climate experience and public reading in Bangladesh to London Park.
Design Response Design Response
Design mobile components with daily operational safety.
Let material disassembly and subsequent uses become part of the concept.
Build an equipment-free environmental experience with light, wind and trees.

AURELIS observation
Short-term architecture can also have a long-term ethic: not permanently occupy the site, but leave behind relationships that can continue to be used.
