MOVING BUILDINGS
Season 16 of arcCA DIGEST looks at buildings that move or have been moved or that, in some way, hold a less permanent relationship to their setting than we normally think of buildings having.

There's a portable shelter for the homeless, a farm headquarters relocated by barge, and a 4,800 ton hotel shifted half a block in San Jose. We direct you to a presentation on the promise of thermobimetals, and to the republication, in Places Journal, of a classic essay by J.B. Jackson. And there are selections from the arcCA print archive, as well, on Burning Man and on an architecture office in a box. Enjoy.
