TextLanguage: English Series: Routledge Research in ArchitecturePublisher: Abingdon, Oxon : Routledge, Taylor & Francis Group, 2020Copyright date: ©2018Edition: First published 2020Description: xiv, 246 pages : photographs, charts ; 24 cmContent type: text Media type: unmediated Carrier type: volumeISBN: 9781138698482 (hardback)Subject(s): Buildings | Buildings, prefabricated | Buildings, Portable | Architecture and societyLOC classification: NA8480 .X5 2020Subject: 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--backover. https://www.amazon.com/Small-Scale-Public-Transportable-Pre-Fabricated-Buildings/dp/0367502585
