Spacecraft

The design community’s preoccupation with space and building beyond the limits of classical architecture is more fascinating than ever before. The series of books Spacecraft present projects that meet the changing spatial needs of our modern lifestyles and that are simultaneously expanding our current understanding of architecture. These books showcase international projects by architects, artists and designers all distinguished by the unconventional use and creation of space.

Spacecraft feature modular ephemeral structures that exist only for a limited time, such as pavilions, art projects and exhibition spaces. They exemplify innovative interventions often found in public spaces and urban environments. It also presents projects that deal with the transient use of space such as studios, mobile habitats and pop-up stores that either adapt to their surrounding environments or are strikingly conspicuous.
