Temporary Appropriation
Temporary appropriation is an emerging concept in the field of design that involves the exploitation and reinterpretation of existing objects to create something new. It is based on a critical approach to the often-unacknowledged appropriation of objects from particular cultural contexts, as well as the appropriation of media, graphic elements, color palettes, and other material. This process can involve remaking, reworking, and recontextualization, in order to create a new narrative and meaning within the object. The designers also work with temporality as a tool to explore and challenge the existing power relationships between objects and their context. Thus, temporary appropriation is a creative process that is capable of transforming the status of objects and their cultural relevance.

Temporary Appropriation
Temporary appropriation is a type of design practice that seeks to challenge the traditional relationship between forms, functions and everyday use. This practice involves appropriating existing objects, environments or materials to create new and inventive uses for them. It involves a creative process of re-contextualization and re-purposing, where the existing elements are mixed and matched in ways that challenge traditional conventions. Through this process, spatial and temporal boundaries are temporarily broken down in order to create new forms of expression and experience.
