Mobile Architecture (Construction and Design Manual)

Notwithstanding the many prophets of doom that see solid,

sedentary architecture sacrificed to mobile lifestyles, architects

continue to take up the challenge and design portable houses.

The results are often both practical and innovative, as is demonstrated

on the more than 800 pages of this new title in the

Construction and Design Manual series, in which 43 international

design teams present works ranging from architectural

follies to handicapped accessible furnishings and life-saving

shelters.
