Inhaltsangabe

Moving buildings are among the earliest artifacts created by man - the Bedouin tent is still in existence today.
This definitive study explores the design of portable, transportable, demountable and temporary buildings.
Using numerous examples - indigenous tents, Buckminster Fuller's Wichita House and Nicholas Grimshaw's British Pavillon for Expo 92 - the author looks at the development of these buildings from pre-history to the present day. He investigates the current design criteria for effective, economic portable buildings and examines the ecological advantages of this recyclable genre, comparing the current commercially available products with the work of innovative designers such as Nicholas Grimshaw, Richard Hordern, Jan Kaplicky and Renzo Piano.
