Urban Installation
Temporary and permanent structures that activate, transform, or engage urban public spaces and communities.
Urban installation encompasses site-specific interventions that reshape how people experience cities. These projects range from temporary pavilions and modular systems to permanent architectural additions that integrate landscape, material, and social function into existing urban environments.
The community explores adaptive reuse of urban sites, living facades and green interventions, hidden or reclaimed public spaces, and modular systems designed for renewal and community engagement across diverse cities and contexts.
