Mobile Homes Project 1


http://www.thingsmagazine.net/2006_07_01_oldthings.html

    The topic of mobile homes includes a large variety of both types of buildings, and public preconceptions. They may be viewed as a lower standard of living by some, but they were clearly once a promising future amenity, encompassing affordability and flexibility of travel. In short it is a lifestyle choice, not just a home.  Many aspects of construction have been influenced by these ideas, including modular construction industries for profit, and emergency shelters for the needy.  It has been very interesting to learn about a living and building style that may seem so distant to us, but is actually all around us. 
     Our Report includes information regarding the history, construction, dimension and transportation, statistics and communities of mobile homes.
