Description
The purpose of this third edition of Portable Architecture remains unchanged – to show that mobile buildings are feasible, are able to fulfil many different roles, and are economically viable to build and operate. New projects have only been included if they add some new innovation in the way they have been designed, built or operated. In selecting them I have excluded work which uses strategies that are already examined in equal detail elsewhere. This book would not be possible without the cooperation and generosity of those who have commissioned, designed and built the buildings examined in the case studies. I must therefore express my real gratitude to those who have helped with the creation of this book by giving their time and material – in particular Maurice Agis, Eduard Böhtlingk, Simon Blackmore, Neil Burford, Todd Dalland, Mark Dytham, Mark Fisher, Giuseppe Lignano, Alan Parkinson, Jennifer Siegal, the TAG McLaren Group, and Axel Thallemer. I also thank Alison Yates of the Architectural Press for helping bring this new edition to fruition and the Leverhulme Trust for a study abroad fellowship that enabled important dedicated research to be carried out.
