Transportable buildings are amongst the earliest man-made artefacts. This
definitive study now includes a chapter on information technology and its
influence on the topic. Showcasing the work of Buckminster Fuller's Whinchita
House and Nicholas Grimshaw's British Pavilion for Expo '92, the author looks
at the development of these buildings, using examples from the pre-historic to
present day. Kronenburg investigates the current design criteria for effective
portable buildings and examines the ecological advantages of this recyclable
genre.
