Mobile

Able to be moved or move freely and easily.

Portable architecture? Is it able to be moved? Can it be used whilst it's in motion?

Installations - is it the physical building that moves, or a system of spaces that allow for installations to move between them? Installations move between institutions to create mobility.

Does mobile architecture mean that you are moving the physical building or moving the sense/purpose of the space.

Forum - traditionally a market space, centre for communication, politics and law etc, now used in the sense of an Internet forum - similar sense of connectivity though virtual.

Disaster relief architecture, should it be able to be mobile aka. Walk away from the floods etc.

Food vans, caravans, houseboats. Are these existing examples of mobile architecture?

Does mobile mean that the building is able to move from one site to another or that the building is internally mobile, that it is able to have a shifting floor plate.

What is the time frame for its mobility? Is it instantaneously mobile or a gradual change?

Internal mobility - pods that are able to be moved and adapted to required use.

Does the architecture itself have to be mobile, or is it an institution that enables greater mobility?
