Reviews
"These gorgeous trailers, campers, and tents offer a way to escape modern life for the open road... Many of the mobile homes featured in the book are... enough to make you want to stop paying rent and truly hit the road." -- Co.Design "Small, smartly organized and highly portable, "Mobitecture" is one of those rare books in which the design perfectly mirrors the content... the perfect book for fantasizing about epic road trips, backwoods adventures and off-grid forays into the great unknown." -- Mother Nature Network "It's been described as ecological, iconic and bizarre, but the latest architectural movement also does exactly what it says on the tin." -- TheWeek "Inspiring, well thought-out, innovative, useful, or simply outrageous looking constructions... [A] contagious visual ode to life on the move." -- Damn "Portable structures are really going places... Some designs offer affordable solutions in cities where living costs are sky-high... Others, though, are just plain bonkers." -- Conde Nast Traveller "Creative and clever architectural design. These mobile abodes roll, trundle, stretch, pop up, and float." -- Daily Telegraph, Ultra Travel "Incredible images... Mobitecture: Architecture on the Move celebrates some of the craziest and most unique mobile homes ever invented." -- TheSun.co.uk "Home on the road takes on a whole new meaning in Rebecca Roke's new book Mobitecture , featuring some incredible portable structures... Fun, surprising and ingenious... Also reflects the sometimes-trying circumstances, for example war or homelessness, that requires people to be creative with how they keep a roof over their head." -- ScienceFocus.com "[An] excellent book... Every single page [...] features a captivating, intriguing piece of mobitectural design." -- Aspen Daily News Online "[Th]ematically explores mobile forms of architecture - some strange, some practical, and some out of this world... [An] all encompassing collection." -- Metropolis "Tempted by the heady idea of life on the open road but find mobile homes hopelessly clichéd? Order this just-released book, by Rebecca Roke, tout de suite."-- The Wall Street Journal "Visually compelling... Its powerful introduction sets the stage for understanding the urgency for these projects that demand nuanced creativity and technical savvy... An exceptional exercise in envisioning architecture's unavoidable challenges. Ideal for architects, entrepreneurs, designers and futurists."-- Identity Magazine (Dubai) "Mobile architecture designs that will blow your mind."-- Ecophiles "The array of designs selected by Roke demonstrates the strong social value architecture can have, in the form of homeless shelters or new places of refuge created to tackle climate change."-- Abitare (Italy) "It's both a paean to traveling light and an eye-catching look at all the ways a dwelling can move."-- Atlas Obscura "Tempted by the heady idea of life on the open road but find mobile homes hopelessly clichéd? Order this just-released book, by Rebecca Roke, tout de suite."-- The Wall Street Journal
