Abstract: This paper deals with the relationship between urban heritage and temporary architecture in the context of strengthening a historic place’s image. Temporary architecture can set a new precedent as a tool for the transient modification of the values of historical centers without making a permanent intervention in the urban fabric. Owing to new technologies, the high quality of formal language (often innovative), and a new function, temporary architecture can make a vital contribution to the social and cultural sustainability of urban heritage, having an important impact on the image of a historic place. However, the temporary architecture needs to be carefully positioned and designed to avoid a potentially negative impact on the heritage’s environment. This paper is an investigation of good practices/examples of the relationship between temporary architecture and historic places that have strong, grounded images. Various interventions of temporary architecture at heritage sites will be presented through the examination of selected case-studies, such as the “Music Pavilion” on Mozartplatz in Salzburg, and the “Serpentine Gallery Pavilions” in Kensington Gardens in London. The conclusion is an attempt to define the characteristic features of temporary architecture as a tool for strengthening the image of historical places.
