To understand what is happening to us as we move into the age of super-industrialism,

we must analyse the processes of acceleration and confront the concept of transience. If

acceleration is a new social force, transience is its psychological counterpart, and without

an understanding of the role it plays in contemporary human behaviour, all our theories

of personality, all our psychology, must remain pre-modern.

When looked upon a particular change that has happened it is almost impossible to gulp

the instant end product that is why it is important to understand the span of time in which

the change has occurred and so does the process matter. Without time, change has no

meaning. Time can be conceived as the intervals in which change occurs. Simultaneously

intervals in different events that has occurred can help in building a conclusion of

development. Any process in employment and deployment helps us understand the

extensions that can be added within to function the built more efficiently, such changing

or incrementing setup is an end to the permanent rigid structure providing more adaptivity and an ephermal29 background.

In context of the mode of the building designed it can be distinguished as static or dynamic

permanence. The static permanence deals with more traditional qualities like linear

continuity stability and tangible to create mass and solidity with is eternal in nature.

Dynamic permanence involves a flexibility of location and dispersion of distinct parts, each

enduring in potentially unique applications and locations from their origin. Dynamic

permanence breaks down the building into individual components, each with its own

potentially unique and enduring path. Architectural manifestations of dynamic

permanence include “disassembly design”, “diversified lifetimes” and “rematerilization”. Architect Dr. Philip Crowther defines ‘disassembly design’ as a process where buildings are designed in such a way that they may eventually be carefully taken apart so that the

materials may be reused or recycled. He describes the ideal disassembly as being the

“exact opposite of the assembly process”, as opposed to demolition, it is a careful and time-consuming process of dismantling. The temporary architecture is now providing

opportunities to experiment with materials and forms and buildings relationship to its

surroundings.

As the new things are derived it is reflected in all life forms and so does it reflect in the

built around us. The advancements are adapted. Here comes a question of how do we

sustain with existing built fabric? Or should we at all be using the existing outmoded

environment to upgrade it. Demolishing something, or subtracting something from the

built environment, which is non-functional and its physical form being not compatible

with the changing environment in a time frame, could even be seen as a tool, a productive

intervention itself towards the built environment. On the other hand, an obsolete

structure can have an adaptive reuse of it with temporal functions and flexible spaces put

in to it. As the human relation to the commodity is ephermal so does the respond of the

build towards its users should be to suffice the constant development overall.
