Most of the buildings built for this Olympiad are somewhat temporary structures, meant to stand for the games and be taken down with materials recycled or transported to another location. With sites in Athens and Beijing lying unused, abandoned, and in disrepair,it seems like the perfect solution. But it's not just the Olympics that is seeing a influx of temporary and cheaper structures pop up...it's happening all around the world in all kinda of cities for all kinds of projects. Is this temporary and cheaper architecture simply an avenue for navigating through a world-wide recession or is this meant to last...a sign of what's to come for the future of architecture? Take a look...
From London Olympics to Pasadena, temporary architecture takes hold
