An eclectic collection of mobile architecture is neatly cataloged in the new book Mobitecture: Architecture on the Move (Phaidon, $24.95), comprising everything from a minimalist floating sauna designed for use on Seattle’s Lake Union to a portable one-room summerhouse that can easily be moved around the forests of Scandinavia.
Compiled by Rebecca Roke, who also authored Nanotecture: Tiny Built Things in 2016, this new, compact volume is divided into chapters like “No Wheels,” “Three Wheels,” “Sleds,” and “Water,” each one detailing resourceful structures that are, by turn, luxurious and bare-bones, elegant and outright unexpected.
