What is portable architecture? It might be a building, a landscape, a sculptural yet usable object or an interior space, any human-made environment which is brought into existence in a specific place for a limited time, though its impact may continue for much longer. Unlike conventional buildings, transportable ones are designed to take move-ability into account – when their value at a particular place is expended, deployment, rather than destruction, is their key feature. Because of the way in which the world is changing, technologically, socially, economically and culturally, it is probable that flexible, transformable, transportable design is as important now as it was when, in past millennia, the nomadic way of life was the dominant one across the planet
