General information:

Category	Professional-applicative
Scientific or art field	Architectural-Urbanistic Planning, Design and Theory
ECTS	7

The basic aim of this course is to introduce students to the field of the ephemeral architecture, which refers to temporary spatial structures, experiments in architecture and spatial installations of architectural and artistic character. Understanding, analyzing and designing mobile, adaptable, transformable, portable, non-consistent and easily responsive architectural structures of all levels of complexity.

Acquired knowledge of the ephemeral architecture basics, as well as the application of the design process to temporary spatial structures, of different scales. Ability to conceptualize and solve architectural structures based on their predetermined time duration. Understanding of the application of lesser and / or more abstract concepts to design of particular spatial solutions of the ephemeral types of buildings.

Ephemeral architecture - introduction and basics. Transformable architecture. Portable and mobile architectural structures. Easily changeable spatial constellations (theory, local and international practice) - spatial experiments and architecture-art installations. Archetype of ephemerality - architectural type of the pavilion. Contemporary examples of the ephemeral architectures: the impact on the city. Presentation, analysis and systematization of knowledge. Platform for sustainability of the ephemeral architecture. Concept of parametric design. Parameter-based modeling. Advantages of parametric modeling. Data stream and strategies for creating a parametric algorithm. Elements determined by parameters and the analysis of the elements. Application of parametric modeling in architecture, urbanism and design.

Lectures; design studio work; workshops; consultation; work in computer laboratory
