Portable construction

Hi guys,

Heres an article I found about portable architecture, showing how value was added to the level of permanence a building had, yet when you look back in history most building were portable and temporary. the article also shows how the portability idea can be adapted to the current world of architecture.

Interesting yeah, not sure how practical it is though.... but who knows.

Hi Marcel,
I was really pleased to see this picture on your blog. I had seen it in a book and couldn't remember where I saw it. I was interested in it as I was looking at fabric walls as a way on cladding my minimal structure. Thanks for providing the link.
