Transportable Environments 3

The latest volume in this popular series of books examining the international range of research and practical activity in the field of portable architecture and its context, in particular, the character and manifestation of the transportable environment whether a building, a landscape, or an interior space, brought into existence in a specific location for a limited or specified period of time. It consists of a series of original, illustrated, essays that explore contemporary research, design projects, buildings and cultural contexts that respond to evolving technological, social, economic and cultural conditions. Because of the way in which the world is changing flexible, transformable and transportable design is as important now as it was when, in past millennia, nomadic ways of life were dominant across the planet.
