The ephemeral as a creation of the architectural object

Abstract

The ephemeral is associated with the fleeting or with the short term; however, thinking of the ephemeral as a concept related to the subject supposes to de-incrypt its nature in relation to the objects we call with this adjective and how they affect the meaning of the place. Therefore, this article aims to present the ephemeral as a condition in the creative subject by recognizing the city as a place of space-time scenarios of experiences, the ephemeral as a characteristic of the object created from the resistance of the monument to its temporality; the exaltation of the place through a symbol and witness what has already gone and the incidence of the Industrial Revolution in the synonymy of the mountable and dismountable as ephemeral; functional place. For this reason, sensitivity is proposed as a synonym for the ephemeral to think about the architectural object that denies the place in our time.
