These days pop-up structures are very popular and eco-friendly with their type in abundance in our cities from small coffee shops to outdoor classrooms. Part of the attraction for organisations to use pop-up structures is that they seem to appear out of thin air. Whereas a more traditional structure could take months or even years to build, and therefore ample warning is given to the locals of its arrivals, a pop-up structure can be constructed overnight, giving people a pleasant surprise when they open their curtains the next morning. Here are some of the most popular pop-up structures of the last few years: Pop-up Shop Prada by Roberto Baciocchi Being in fashion Prada usually make the trend but this time they were forced to keep up with the latest in architecture cool. The idea was that Roberto Baciocchi, the architect commissioned to design the store, had to create something inspired and therefore he decided to recreate the silhouette of the iconic Bridge Mioabeau. The Shake Shack, NYC The Shake Shack is actually a permanent structure, however it has been constructed with the idea of creating the appearance of it being temporary. Located in the middle of Maddison Square Park in the city of New York, it is a small food kiosk that has a heavy footfall due to its location and offering. There are some who claim that The Shake Shack offers the best hamburgers in the world, and with queues going deep into the park there is certainly an argument in its favour of such a bold claim. What is particularly nice is that because of its presence in the centre of a park customers can enjoy their burgers in a beautiful setting in the middle of a huge city, so long as they remember to tidy up their litter afterwards! Street Kitchens Although not as popular in the UK as they are in the states or in continental Europe, we are beginning to see more street kitchen appear in our major cities. While they have traditionally been associated with low-grade food, that stereotype is now being challenged as gourmet chefs have started to sell their food in this way. Consequently, much of the stigma is fading and street kitchens are becoming more common. So you see, there are plenty of individual and common types of pop-up structures that are changing the landscape of our cities on a regular basis, challenging our concepts of space usage.
