The limitations, benefits, and challenges of updating public space can be tested through temporary interventions. Recycled materials, natural air purifiers, and inflatable structures are some of the strategies that designers use to set up itinerant atmospheres that can create community and alternative engagement. As the speed of change keeps increasing, ephemeral spaces are the perfect terrain for exploring new materials, spatial configurations, construction techniques, and user experiences.
