Spacecraft 2 /anglais: More Fleeting Architecture and Hideouts: v. 2 (Spacecraft: More Fleeting Architecture and Hideouts) - Hardcover

Like its successful predecessor, Spacecraft 2 showcases international projects by architects, artists and designers that meet the changing spatial needs of our modern lifestyles and that are simultaneously expanding our current understanding of architecture. This sumptuous volume further documents a dynamic range of ephemeral structures such as pavilions, art projects and exhibition spaces as well as transient architecture including mobile habitats, and vacations homes that inconspicuously adapt to their natural or urban environments.

The design community's preoccupation with space and building beyond the limits

of classical architecture is more fascinating than ever before. Like its successful

predecessor, Spacecraft 2 presents projects that meet the changing

spatial needs of our modern lifestyles and that are simultaneously expanding our

current understanding of architecture.

This book showcases international projects by architects, artists and designers

all distinguished by the unconventional use and creation of space. The dynamic

range of work presented in this sumptuous volume stretches the existing concepts

of temporary architecture, thus unhinging conventional definitions of spatial

design.

Spacecraft 2 features modular ephemeral structures that exist only for a limited

time, such as pavilions, art projects and exhibition spaces. They exemplify

innovative interventions often found in public spaces and urban environments. It

also presents projects that deal with the transient use of space such as studios,

mobile habitats and pop-up stores that either adapt to their surrounding environments

or are strikingly conspicuous.

This unprecedented compendium brings together an extraordinary collection

of projects by young and little-yet-known talents and mirrors the exchange,

communication and development that are engaging contemporary building practices

today.
