Mobile Urban Architecture: From Portable Housing to Temporary Hotel Rooms

It looks like mobile housing is becoming more and more fancy and modern with world class designs and what not. Check out some of the really cool stuff on mobile urban architecture at weburbanist.

The GMC PAD was designed as an alternative to the financial problems of fixed living, particularly in areas with high land prices such as Southern California. Others have proposed it would be useful as an alternative FEMA-type emergency residence. Sustainability is, of course, of great concern in something that is in effect a souped-up kind of advanced mobile home. This portable living unit was therefore designed a diesel-electric hybrid. It also comes equipped with photovalic cells that charge onboard batteries, increasing the necessary time between refuels to weeks or even months.
