ArchitectureWeek Description From backpacks to luxury yachts, tents to trailer homes, the newest book from the author of Blowup, Where's My Space Age?, and Xtreme Houses follows architecture designed to follow mankind. For most of us, "house" means stability, structure, and permanence. In an age of increasing population and technological gains, today's mobile society has resulted in a demand for portable dwellings. This eclectic mix of forty innovative projects illustrates many of the movable houses of today. Cleverly juxtaposing the old and the new, countless eye-catching photographs of mobile homes, transformable fashions, custom vehicles, and private jets are paired with entertaining texts to explore the new nomadic lifestyle and the evolution of temporary communities.
