The portable architecture movement is an international and fast-developing phenomenon, taking its source from the nomadic lifestyle of ancient communities and adding to it the technology of the modern world. Essays and projects in this book investigate the portable structure movement, drawing on residential, leisure, business and industrial examples. Relocatable buildings should be seen not as low-cost short-life products but part of mainstream architectural development.
