Mobile Architecture. History and Development of Transportable and Modular Buildings. 200 p. w. 300 ill. (Text in German) Mobility and flexibility, a central topic of modern architecture until the seventies, has acquired a new relevance at the present time due to increasing social and political change. However, the new general context such as greater environmental awareness and technical developments will influence the ways in which this type of architecture can be used. This book deals with the different types of mobile architecture such as transportable and transferable buildings for temporary or permanent use as well as industrially prefabricated houses which usually have a modular layout.
