Temporary Architecture

One of the finest moments in Avalon Chrystie's life as a building was when the whole block of East Houston was a winding, twisting, undulating tunnel of plywood and netting, carving its way down the length of the site. It was a buffet of shifting sounds, sights, terrain, and experience, in many ways the antithesis of the actual structure. It was organic & situationist. Decontrolled and shifty. It was, in my estimation, one of the coolest temporary structures to rise and fall in recent time. Like shifting appendages, these temporary structures add drama, mystery, and a bit of devlishness to some of the most banal blocks in our fine City... Here are four recent examples, one of which is already history.
