Summary:
Ce livre s'attache à démontrer que l'architecture grecque classique ne résulte pas d'un ensemble de règles pédantes réfractaires à toute nouveauté, mais d'une dynamique innovante, qui a conservé sa capacité à nourrir les recherches de la modernité. Synthèse d'un répertoire de formes empruntées à l'ensemble du bassin méditerranéen, les monuments et sites de l'Antiquité grecque sont ici évoqués à travers des photographies d'archives, des prises de vue récentes, des dessins et des plans. Le texte donne les clefs nécessaires à la compréhension des structures formelles, des principes artistiques et des concepts qui ont donné naissance à une série d'inventions dont la valeur universelle continue de fasciner l'époque contemporaine Le Corbusier ne parlait pas sans raison de " l'esprit révolutionnaire " du Parthénon.

Summary:
Temporary structures, such as scaffolding, barriers, and building sites, ensure the functioning of multiple processes, from construction and deconstruction to maintenance, guidance, and protection. ''Temporary Tecture'' presents a new perspective on this type of contemporary vernacular architecture—often overlooked in both public and professional discourse, despite its omnipresence. This new approach reveals that these “structures of necessity” provide an architectural language from which architects can learn in terms of adaptability, use of local resources, circular economy, and conceptual radicalism. Ultimately, it raises the question: How permanent should architectural solutions be in a continuously changing world?
