Codes of the Temporary

Manifesto of Architecture

Laezza Raffaella

The book opens many questions. Can the architectural research still be eros towards study, the deepening of its principles? Can a temporary, ephemeral, mutant building, a minimal set-up be the privileged place of our attention? And, can we with the enchantment of micro visions of nature see another geometries and transform them into constructive, geometric, material, modular genetic codes for a vision of architecture? Founding friability is a first, experimental response of the author.
