The flexibility that is offered by the Japanese society has resulted in the extraordinary approach of architects and outstanding design solutions. The experiences here are acute and consistent. Japan is one of the rare places that possess delicacy towards time. A mind that is open to flaws, and a mind that can complete the incomplete is truly able to discover the essence possessed in the temporarily built enclosures. Participation of the observer is held important. The true understanding of Ephemeral and its appreciation is only through experiencing its true assets. Ephemeral Architecture is a visual art that exhibits the beauty of impermanence and imperfection. The basic idea is to acknowledge that the true charm of nature lies in ‘Mujo’ (impermanence). A philosophy that originates from the traditional Japanese aesthetics, that is profound but wordless. Incomplete, imperfect, and impermanent! Wabi-sabi is a state of finding sacredness in the minor. S-House by Yuusuke Karasawa Architects ©Ephemeral House by NAAD ©Wabi-sabi The adoption of the Ephemeral idea is the creation of an elastic atmosphere amidst the rigid urban territory. It could be said that Ephemeral is halfway between the urban neighborhood and nature. Reduced load on the planet, economically provident and adaptive to the changing needs of the users. Together with the cultural concepts, the secular notions of transparency, lightness, and nature are harnessed today through Ephemeral Architecture. The contemporary architects of the 21 st century, are reinterpreting the beliefs alongside modern technology and are keeping alive the native architectural style. Ephemeral to Japan is ‘an idea that mediates between desired permanence and the obligatory change.’ The philosophical notion of constant change and interchanging constants is deep-rooted in the Japanese minds and hence Japanese architecture. The world obsession for permanence and monumentality comes to an end here. Here cities are sensitive to time and possess a general perspective towards Ephemeral Architecture. Contrary to this is Japanese cities, accepting of rapid change, cyclic renewal, and vitality in structures.

In all cultures, the place we inhabit shapes us as much as we shape it it helps us create schemes and structures, regardless of whether it was built to last or if it is ephemeral architecture.Įphemeral architecture has existed since prehistoric times, from the first nomadic settlements of hunter-gatherer tribes until today, when it is configured through recycling architecture. Architecture defines us, creates the space of our lives, writes our history.
