Quotation // Robert Kronenburg

"Portable architecture, made to be erected repetitively, uses forms of construction that are linked most intimately with its essence - in many cases its form is therefore expressive of its structural system, materiality and erection process. It can be argued convincingly that the form and character are therefore easier to read for those involved in their operation and use.

...

Portable buildings can be perceived as relating more to the cyclic quality of life, for in their destruction lies their ultimate rebirth - the ebb and flow of construction/destruction, the cycle of ‘building/building-in-use/dismantling’ reflects the growth/death cycle found in the living world."
