Is home a mobile concept?
For most of us home means stability, structure, and permanence. But in an age of increasing population and technological gains, today's mobile society has resulted in a demand for portable dwellings. Many of the movable houses of today echo history's earliest and most rudimentary shelters. Some reveal an unprecedented demand for luxury and comfort while others reflect a desire to lessen man's impact on the earth.
