Résumé:
This is the first book to examine the space and idea of the camp as a defining dimension of 21st-century life, and to consider why camps are now at the center of emerging questions of identity, residency, safety, and mobility. Hailey describes camps of diverse regions, purposes, and forms, and navigates the inherent paradoxes of zones that are neither temporary nor permanent: camps of choice, including summer camps, protest camps, drift camps (research stations on Arctic ice floes), and LTVA (Long-Term Visitor Area) camps; strategic camps regulated by power - boot camps, GTMO, immigrant camps, and others. Including more than 150 diagrams, sketches, building and site plans, photographs, video game screenshots, aerial and satellite images, and maps.

Résumé:
Sheep wagons, houseboats, RVs, tents, yurts, even prefab homes and old converted school busses - people are finding creative ways every day to build and adapt homes that aren't confined to one geographical location. Portable Houses features traditional movable dwellings around the world, from a houseboat in Sausalito to a gypsy wagon in the English countryside. Authors Irene Rawlings and Mary Abel provide essential information on making movable homes functional and practical, along with chapters on acquiring the necessary tools and gear for travel, problem solving with each type of portable house, and converting the dream into highway-legal reality. With photography of some of the world's most ingenious and unique portable structures, Portable Houses will inspire the migratory-minded to turn ordinary modes of transportation into creative living spaces. Rawlings proves that it really is possible for the dedicated, nomadic, do-it-yourselfer to make the road a comfortable home!

Résumé:
En 1885, Jules Verne écrivait dans L'île à hélice : «Qui sait si la Terre ne sera pas trop petite un jour pour ses habitants dont le nombre doit atteindre six milliards en 2072. [...] Et ne faudra-t-il pas bâtir sur la mer, alors que les continents seront encombrés ?» L'architecture de demain sera-t-elle aquatique ? Maisons sur pilotis ? Extensions gagnées sur la mer ? Îles artificielles ? Maisons et villes flottantes ?... Certains territoires comme Singapour, Hong Kong, Macao, Monaco, Dubaï, Abu Dhabi, Koweit sont confrontés à la double pression de la démographie et du développement économique. Le manque d'espace les pousse à s'emparer de milliers d'hectares sur la mer. En parallèle, sous l'effet du réchauffement climatique, la montée des océans menace des terres émergées comme aux Pays Bas où la tendance est de rendre de l'espace à la mer... Les premières maisons flottantes invitent les Néerlandais à vivre sur l'eau, avec l'eau, au lieu de chercher à repousser constamment les flots. Terres émergées/Terres immergées... Espaces rendus à la mer/Espaces bâtis sur les eaux... Notre avenir est intimement Lié à l'eau : notre source de vie, de rêve, de liberté.

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:
In American popular imagination, the mobile home evokes images of cramped interiors, cheap materials, and occupants too poor or unsavory to live anywhere else. Since the 1940s and '50s, however, mobile home manufacturers have improved standards of construction and now present them as an affordable alternative to conventional site-built homes. Today one of every fourteen Americans lives in a mobile home. In "The Unknown World of the Mobile Home" authors John Fraser Hart, Michelle J. Rhodes, and John T. Morgan illuminate the history and culture of these often misunderstood domiciles. They describe early mobile homes, which were trailers designed to be pulled behind automobiles and which were more often than not poorly constructed and unequal to the needs of those who used them. During the 1970s, however, Congress enacted federal standards for the quality and safety of mobile homes, which led to innovation in design and the production of much more attractive and durable models. These models now comply with local building codes and many are designed to look like conventional houses. As a result, one out every five new single-family housing units purchased in the United States is a mobile home, sited everywhere from the conventional trailer park to custom-designed "estates" aimed at young couples and retirees. Despite all these changes in manufacture and design, even the most immobile mobile homes are still sold, financed, regulated, and taxed as vehicles. With a wealth of detail and illustrations, "The Unknown World of the Mobile Home" provides readers with an in-depth look into this variation on the American dream.
