Abstract
- Author and architecture critic for the London Evening Standard, Robert Bevan reflects on the enduring appeal of the temporary structure, speaking 'to a latent desire for freedom and movement' as a hangover of our nomadic past in a sedentary 'civilised' society. He highlights the type's historical apex in Henry VIII's palatial pop-up on the Field of the Cloth of Gold, questioning the purpose and purposelessness of more recent examples. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
