Recensione

Reviews of previous edition:

'Engaging account arguing that relocatable buildings should be seen not as low-cost short-life products but part of mainstream architectural development'
Architecture Today

'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 inclusion of less architecturally prominent work by Maurice Agis, Mark Fisher and Kris Kennedy gives the volume scope and diversity.'
The Architect's Journal
