Pop‐ups provide a unique means of physically communicating issues to a wider public through their placement in city centres and areas with a high footfall. Food security, agricultural and sustainability are matters close to the heart of CJ Lim , Professor of Architecture and Urbanism at the Bartlett School of Architecture, University College London (UCL), and founder of Studio 8 Architects. Here, through a speculative project, ‘The Food Parliament’, and some of the many pop‐ups and kiosks that he has observed on his travels, he proposes how transitory architecture might help bring wider attention to unsustainable patterns of consumption and food dissemination.
