This book investigates the design, operation and use of
contemporary transportable buildings, and explores how functional
performance can be assessed in small-scale examples for public use
alongside their relationship to other design elements. The research
focuses on three case studies, Chengdu Hualin Elementary School,
Exxopolis and Kreod, that do not require a high-technology building
environment or complex construction skills. Transportable buildings
are defined as those that are transported in a number of parts for
assembly on site. Contemporary transportable buildings respond to
ecological issues, social impacts, technological innovation and
economic demands. They can be used to measure a society's
development in environmental sustainability, innovation and
economic growth through various forms. Small-scale transportable
buildings fulfil many temporary habitation needs in diverse roles,
such as non-emergency transitional housing, ephemeral exhibition
buildings and seasonal entertainment facilities. Small-Scale Public
Transportable and Pre-Fabricated Buildings will be a useful
research text for academics and students in architecture, design
and sustainable building performance.
