“From a floating sauna to a spiky pavilion, the temporary structures vying for the £3,000 prize have been revealed.
Studio Tom Emerson, Hudson Architects, Sebatian Irarrazaval and Hollwich Kushner are among the ten finalists in the running for the inaugural AR award.
Pop-up celebrates temporary structures from around the world built in the past five years and carries a £3,000 prize fund for the winning project.
Considering the 155 entries from around the world, the judging panel included Christine Murray editor-in-chief of the Architects’ Journal and The Architectural Review, architect David Kohn, AR executive editor Emily Booth and AR assistant editor Jon Astbury.
Murray said the judges began with a lively discussion on ‘what represents excellence in this emerging and popular type of building.’”
