temporary structures
Short-lived edifices
Temporary structures are buildings or constructions designed to stand for a limited time rather than permanently.
The term covers everything from construction scaffolding and event tents to portable classrooms and emergency shelters.
The festival required permits for all temporary structures.
In construction contexts, temporary structures support the building process itself—forms for pouring concrete, shoring to hold walls in place—and are removed once permanent elements are complete.
