Abstract: Temporary architecture emerges as a transformative force rather than a compromise in a world identified by urban flux and climate urgency. This study investigates how eco-modular design utilizes sustainable materials, smart technology, and cultural relevance to redefine temporary structures. The study measures the ecological and social implications of modularity by examining ten international case studies that include Dubai's AI-optimized Pavilion of the Future and Sweden's fully circular Icehotel. The results indicate that employing AI systems may save up to 50% on energy costs, reduce carbon emissions by 35%, and reuse materials 100% of the time. Regression and ANOVA confirm significant advantages over traditional designs. Furthermore, this study argues that transitory architecture is not a transient solution but rather a solid blueprint for future cities. Sustainability, speed, and beauty come together to create ephemeral significance and temporariness—a strategy for permanence.
