Félállandó

Félállandó is a Hungarian term that translates to "semi-permanent" in English. It is often used in contexts related to temporary structures, installations, or situations that are not intended to be permanent but are expected to last for a significant duration. The term implies a state of being that is not fixed in place indefinitely but is also not fleeting.

In construction and urban planning, a félállandó structure might refer to a building or installation that is designed to be in place for several years, perhaps for a specific event, a temporary housing solution, or a pilot project. These structures are typically more robust and durable than temporary setups but lack the permanence of traditional buildings. They might be built with materials that allow for eventual disassembly or relocation.

The concept of félállandó can also extend to other areas. For example, in art installations or exhibition design, elements might be described as félállandó if they are intended to remain in place for an extended exhibition period, beyond a typical temporary display but not as a permanent fixture. Similarly, in certain administrative or legal contexts, a status or arrangement might be considered félállandó if it is in effect for an indeterminate but substantial period, subject to review or change rather than being fixed forever. The core idea remains a state of being that occupies a middle ground between fully temporary and entirely permanent.
