Ephemeral Architecture

Festival of Art and Architecture

How ephemeral architecture and art can build city, memory and culture, basic ingredients, heterogeneous, but necessary to consolidate and build the future, in such a difficult year!
This project, the genesis, the basis of its conception arose in a teaching project of the Master of Ephemeral Architecture, of Instituto 42 of Murcia, and from the hand of the specialists, already, of ephemeral architecture, and at that time students, Cristian Martinez, Julia Cerdán, Ana Hernandez, Antonio Martinez, Javier Cano, Rafa Fructuoso, Natalia Martinez, Blanca Megias, David Pérez, and María José Fernandez, and accompanied all the way with my fellow architect Raquel Gonzalez.
In the middle of the process, of the teaching course, came the pandemic,… the strength and faith weakened in many cases, but not in everyone… we continued, and we finished the course… months later, a lifetime later… C]eaction 2021 (as Helia San Nicolas formulated brilliantly) with the help of the Yecla City Council, without the director of the fair Inma, now retired, and with many changes, Blasfemia production company that won the competition, new artists’ projects, a thousand changes and adjustments, a thousand constructive details, graphics, security, communication with the artists through my colleague Susana, the infinite patience of a group of Yecla artists who at all times supported and had an infinite capacity for resilience and respect. (understanding the difficulty of the project and glimpsing the importance of what everyone was doing…) the companies that supported with their physical and direct collaboration the event until the last minute, Instituto 42 that organised in a spectacular way workshops and Top talks, etc… an intense, frenetic and exhausting work was carried out until exhaustion during 4 days to produce and mount an event that has marked a before and after in Yecla!
Uncertainty as a tool, as a genesis… to build the future with ephemeral architecture!
