Arquitetura efêmera: estudo preliminar de um pavilhão para eventos de exposição cultural e artístico na cidade de São Luís – MA

Abstract

Ephemeral architecture refers to temporary structures built for events, exhibitions, festivals and similar activities. These constructs are generally designed to be dismantled after a period of time, usually a few days or weeks. Ephemeral installations are often used to address temporal and spatial issues, and also provide an opportunity to experiment with new building materials and technologies. Therefore, the pavilion architecture wasadopted, which is characterized by temporary and ephemeral constructions, generally used to house exhibitions, events or cultural activities. These constructions are designed to be easilydismantled and transported to other

locations, featuring a simple, lightweight and flexible structure. However, despite being a well- known subject, there is a gap in the specialized literature, which presents superficial and

generalist approaches on the subject, requiring more in-depth studies on this subject. Thus, the objective of this work is to present a proposal for a pavilion for cultural and artistic exhibition events in the city of São Luis - MA, focusing on ephemerality as a fundamental principle of the project. To base this research, we used the research methodology at an exploratory level, with bibliographical research and similar case studies in order to, in the future, be attributed as a reference for other works.
