  • Theater on the Fly by Assemble
    Nobody does <a href="http://inhabitat.com/tag/london-temporary-theater/">temporary theater</a> like the <a href="http://www.assemblestudio.co.uk">Assemble design collective</a>, and their latest design made entirely out of recycled or reusable materials is their finest work yet.
