Présentation de l'éditeur :
As economic problems make some shy away from grandiose, long-lasting
buildings, a wave of new temporary buildings and architectural is
sweeping over the planet. These can have uses from emergency relief to
concert or performance venues. Another fascinating area that is covered
here is exhibition and fair design, a veritable
treasure trove of exciting designs that come and go in the space of a
week or less, to show fashion, jewelry or design. Fashion shows or art
displays are all part of this dynamic trend that includes some of the great names in contemporary architecture like Zaha Hadid or Rem Koolhaas, but also many architects that you have never heard of until now!
