About this title

Synopsis

Alle fr�hen Behausungen waren tragbar oder jederzeit erneuerbar, denn die Menschen lebten als Nomaden und zogen mit den wechselnden Jahreszeiten dorthin, wo die Lebensbedingungen zutr�glicher waren. Die Rastlosigkeit der modernen Zeit wiederum findet in mobilen Strukturen ihren Ausdruck: das Nomadic Museum von Shigeru Ban in New York aus Schiffscontainern wurde viel diskutiert und Marc Fishers Konzertarchitektur f�r die Tourneen der Rolling Stones oder U2 war Ereignis im internationalen Feuilleton. Das Micro Compact Home von Richard Horden oder das Container Home Kit von LOT/EK sind Vorschl�ge f�r flexibles Wohnen. Auch in Extremsituationen wie in der Antarktis oder nach Naturkatastrophen werden mobile Strukturen eingesetzt. Der Ausstellungsbereich oder die Clubszene sind weitere typische Anwendungsbereiche f�r leichte, bewegliche Bauten. Gerade abbaubare, tempor�re Strukturen erlauben das architektonische Experiment und k�nnen zu Prototypen werden.
Dieses Buch diskutiert Vorl�ufer, Kontext und Technologie der portablen Architektur. Es dokumentiert – nach Anwendungsbereichen gegliedert – zahlreiche internationale Beispiele und gibt vielf�ltige Anregungen f�r die Entwurfspraxis.
