Review

Reviews of previous edition:

'Kronenburg's case studies are clearly presented and throughly researched... the collection is a useful source of inspiration for anyone interested in innovative construction or technology.'
The Architect's Journal

From the Back Cover

This revision of our long-standing title shows that portable buildings are eminently feasible, are capable of a wide range of roles, as well as being economic to build and operate. Kronenberg provides technical and design detail through a series of high profile works - showcasing the very best and diverse range of portable architecture, proving it can be subversive as well as sensitive, amusing as well as appropriate, energetic and economic.

Ideal for those who have been commissioned, or are in competition, who want to learn about the very latest developments and trends in the area. New introductions to each section focus the remit of the book and make it a complete and comprehensive guide to the topic.
