Temporary Pleasure is a ‘post-club’ architecture and design practice — combining ephemeral architecture, club culture, live performance, and immersive experience.

Founded and led by John Leo Gillen, born and raised in a nightclub, he studied architecture to reimagine the nightclub as a post-club space — translating club culture into installations, spatial sound systems, festival stages, live performances, dance, fashion and film.

Temporary Pleasure has been commissioned and exhibited by the Barbican, Fundació Mies Van Der Rohe, Horst Arts + Music, Jamie xx, and Stone Island. Author of Temporary Pleasure — Nightclub Architecture, Design & Culture 1960–Today (Prestel). Represented by Reid Kutrow at SacksCo Creative.
