Description
Temporary architecture is an increasingly significant tool for the communication of cultural or commercial contents, as it is the mediator of choice between businesses, institutions and the public at large. This volume offers a perspective on this theme through an interpretation of the process of space morphing, which is the transformation and temporary redefinition of locations from empty spaces into dynamic spaces characterized by different levels of perception and communication. Through images, sketches and drawings, sixteen international projects by the studio "Migliore+Servetto Architetti Associati" tell of the stratification of various elements, such as light, graphics and technology, in the construction of new artificial landscapes where the users become the engine for and players in their own path to awareness.The quality of the installations therefore emerges through the various project phases, according to differing perspectives, zooming between the close-up view and the panoramic.
