Opis

Portable architecture grabs the imagination of both designers and the people who use it, and for this reason the frequently dynamic form that it adopts is often a fascinating example of where we are today in architectural development as well as an intriguing insight into where we might be headed. This book examines the development of portable, transportable, demountable and temporary architecture from prehistory to the present day.
