The wider context
Architecture in focus
Installation in the architectural context refers to temporary or permanent spatial interventions that blur the boundary between architecture and art. These are not conventional buildings but constructed environments — pavilions, follies, immersive rooms, or landscape interventions — designed to be experienced rather than inhabited.
From Olafur Eliasson's weather installations to the annual Serpentine Pavilion commissions, architectural installations test ideas at a scale and speed that permanent buildings cannot. They are architecture's laboratory — places where material, light, and spatial ideas are prototyped before entering the mainstream.
