Résumé:
Mobility is the ultimate new form of freedom: freedom from routine, traditional values, and geographic restraints. Today's creatives thrive on a lifestyle that enables them to work six months in a shared office in Berlin, spend the summer in a caravan in Chile, and show up in time for their next project at a temporary desk in New York. This growing trend has generated visionary ways of designing products and spaces that facilitate a nomadic yet high-tech life. From a modular dwelling system on wheels to an inflatable classroom in a repurposed dumpster, this book compiles a wide range of flexible spaces and innovative products that define today's nomads. Through innovative technology, and by (literally) thinking outside the box, the designers behind these concepts give people the freedom to call the entire world their home.

Résumé:
Cet ouvrage présente le travail de plus d’une centaine d’artistes qui tous proposent des créations dans lesquelles le thème de l’architecture, du bâti, joue un rôle central. Sculptures, installations, dessins, peintures, collages et photomontages ne sont que quelques-unes des nombreuses techniques utilisées par ces artistes pour exprimer leur vision de la chose construite, qu’il s’agisse d’une maison, d’une église, d’un immeuble, ou plus largement de la rue ou de la ville. Propositions, critiques, hommages, questionnements abondent dans ces projets qui, en définitive, racontent l’histoire de lieux, réels ou fictifs, utopiques ou tragiques, et révèlent l’importance du rôle de l’architecture dans notre culture visuelle.
