They are for the wealthy and the poor, the trendy and the out-of-luck. Changing one’s place of residence is an endeavor that is as old as humanity, for reasons of season, or, more recently, to better occupy leisure time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWritten and edited by Philip Jodidio, this volume with illustrations by Russ Gray contains some of the \u003cstrong\u003emost remarkable examples of homes on the move\u003c\/strong\u003e. Starting with totally \u003cstrong\u003erevamped Airstream mobile homes\u003c\/strong\u003e, and going on to \u003cstrong\u003espectacular moveable vacation houses\u003c\/strong\u003e of the Epic Retreats “pop-up boutique hotel” in Wales, this book doesn’t stop moving, surveying the best in \u003cstrong\u003ecampers and tents\u003c\/strong\u003e, and going on to extravagant \u003cstrong\u003emarine dwellings \u003c\/strong\u003elike BIG’s Urban Rigger, or the Manta Underwater Room in Zanzibar. At the other end of the spectrum, we find \u003cstrong\u003erefugee housing\u003c\/strong\u003e for those forced into a life on the move, including shelters designed by the \u003cstrong\u003ePritzker Prize–winning architect Shigeru Ban\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat we discover throughout is that the \u003cstrong\u003enomadic spirit of our hunter-gatherer ancestors \u003c\/strong\u003eis very much alive in the modern world. Where architecture has often sought stability and thus the lack of movement, modernity has brought a sense of the finite, and a good deal of modesty about posterity and longevity. What more contemporary thought could there be than to seek nothing so much as to move, to grow perhaps, but always to move. “A good traveler,” said the ancient Chinese philosopher Lao Tzu “has no fixed plans and is not intent on arriving.” As this book ably shows, it is the journey that counts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"row read-more-content\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"col-xs-12 col-sm-12 col-lg-12\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"author\"\u003e\n\u003ch4 class=\"serif\"\u003eThe editor\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePhilip Jodidio\u003c\/strong\u003e studied art history and economics at Harvard, and edited \u003cem\u003eConnaissance des Arts \u003c\/em\u003efor over 20 years.
