Learn to ideate and develop an architectural project by exploring the material and sensory qualities of a temporary space
Ephemeral architecture is the creation of temporary spaces, and its transitory nature can make it the perfect medium for experimentation and finding innovative solutions. Architect Diogo Aguiar, two-time winner of the ArchDaily Building of The Year Award and listed among the Young Talents in Portuguese Architecture (Jovens talentos da Arquitetura Portuguesa), specializes in building spaces that, although temporary, have a lasting impact on anyone who sees them.
In this course, learn to ideate and develop ephemeral architecture spaces. With Diogo as your guide, explore shapes and materials and learn to develop projects that awaken all five senses.

From his namesake studio, architect Diogo Aguiar seeks a balance between art and architecture in all his installations and small-scale constructions, ranging from public to private.
He has appeared in various national and international publications, is a two-time winner of the ArchDaily Building of The Year Award, and has represented Portugal at the Venice Biennale of Architecture. He is also one of the co-founders of the Galeria de Arquitectura located in Porto, Portugal, a gallery that exhibits architectural projects "as an exercise in contemplating this discipline and its limits."

It is an interesting course that helps a lot to introduce yourself to the world of ephemeral architecture. I would have liked a little more context for the design.

The course takes me back to those first days at architecture university when ideas and concepts are fresh and pure. This one is needed on days I feel like needing some mental boost.
