Photography: Temporary Architecture Now! By Philip Jodidio
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Architecture is traditionally one of the more lasting human endeavours.
Buildings and monuments are made to stand for periods that are, ideally, measured in centuries. But economic considerations, new materials and technologies, modern-day nomadism and other experiments in living and working have given rise to an architecture defined by impermanence.
Philip Jodidio's book celebrates these structures: exhibition pavilions and performance venues; emergency relief buildings; prefab housing, and repurposed shipping containers such as Adam Kalkin's 'Illy Push-Button House' in Venice, shown above
