Kookaburra River Queens is one of the examples which demonstrate movable architecture. People can enjoy the constantly changable scenary while dining, dancing and entertaining.

Caravan is another common example for the users to expand their experience of place dramatically. It is both buildings and vehicles, which provides shelter and safety for human while meeting their needs and requirements in an anaspirational way. Location and time are not restricted, hence it gives a lot of freedom to the users to create their memories while travelling.

Strandbeest mobile sculptures is designed by artist Theo Jansen. It is powered by wind and can be set in motion by one person.

It is common to see Gallery and Festival are designed in a portable way due to their nature of wanting to attract variety of people. Karim Muallem is a semi-permenent pavilion and Mobile Museums both demonstrate contempary function.

All of the exemplars above use the strategies of portable, demountable and modular. Wide range of construction forms can be used and are either transported as complete buildings, break it down to part of buildings, or flat-pack.
