<Temporary pavilions and installations, such as those used for events, exhibitions or festivals, themselves present a major challenge when addressing the circular economy in architecture because of their ephemeral state, it seems contradictory to address resource management and try to extract maximum value from materials and minimize waste and pollution while designing a structure that is intended to be used for a limited period of time. However, there are several strategies to rethink the way we design these structures in order to promote circularity. By following certain strategies such as repurposing components and giving them a new life, preserving the structure and redefining the intended use, or even relocating pavilions to revitalize the urban life around them; temporary structures can be designed and built in a way that helps create a more sustainable and responsible approach that helps in such tragedies, benefiting the environment and the economy.
