This study investigates the role of ephemerality as a strategic design approach in tactical urbanism, with a specific focus on pavilion design. As urban environments continuously evolve, designers are increasingly utilizing temporary structures to reshape public interactions, encourage creativity, and test innovative spatial solutions. Through a survey-based research methodology, complemented by interviews and case studies, this paper examines how pavilions function as adaptable and dynamic spaces that challenge conventional urban design paradigms. By activating underutilized urban spaces, these temporary structures act as experimental platforms that foster engagement, stimulate innovation, and contribute to the vitality of the urban landscape. The findings provide insights into the effectiveness of ephemeral architecture in enhancing public space and inform future design interventions in tactical urbanism.
