This form of mobility is about stationary buildings that have mobile designs. The means the structure can be easily built anywhere the occupant decides to go. This form of architectural mobility has its roots in early nomadic tribes, who never stayed around in one place for long, therefore requiring non-permanent shelter. There are two ways this can be achieved with mobile design. The first is with a structure that is constructed and de-constructed at every new site the tribe stops at.
Some of the materials for these structures is carried with the tribe to each new site (these all would be critical pieces such as structural poles or rare materials like fabric covers but they would all need to be light weight and easily carried), with the sites natural resources filling in for the rest of the required materials.
The other style of non-permanent shelter is a purely mobile design with no mobile structure. So each shelter would be created with material on the site and then dismantled and left, with the tribe carrying nothing of it with them.
Though the structure doesn't move the design of it does making it “mobile”. These structures would included mud huts, igloos and so forth.
The most common form of these moving designs is the exhibition tent. This is a large structure that is easy to assemble and can be placed almost anywhere.
They can hold large amounts of people comfortably and the simple structure can support equipment and multi levels in the structure. It is also easily dismantled and transported. The drawback of these structures is they need to be quite adaptable or else they are greatly limited by the choice of site. If they can build off and and integrate with the land, then this type of building can be very successful.
