"If a building is like an epic novel, with adequate room of gradual development, and with space for quieter passages, as well as declamatory ones, a spoon is more of a haiku."

… amsterdam-based practices bureau SLA and overtreders w have collaborated to initiate, design and complete the ‘noorderparkbar’,
a coffee bar and local gathering space for residents in north amsterdam, the netherlands. entirely funded and constructed by members of the two firms,
this bottom-up project sourced all the components to build the structure from approximately 100 individual traders found on a dutch market
website similar to eBay. although solely comprised of second-hand materials, the pavilion projects the appearance of a new construct.
due to their method of gradually gathering the building elements, the design and building process occurred simultaneously.

Fig. 39. Conjectural restoration of the smaller temple at Klopedi, from very fragmentary remains. The building was apparently peripteral, with a pronaos on the east and an opisthodomos or adyton on the west, behind the cella.
