What's the difference between Pre-Fabricated Architecture from Portable Architecture?
I'm an architecture student from Manila, researching for Pre-Fabricated Housing, while i'm confused with prefabrication from portable architecture. Please help me... i'm planning this to be my thesis topic...

- Broadly speaking, Pre-Fabricated Architecture is a structure that is largely fabricated off-site, often in a modular fashion, and then assembled / finished on-site. Portable Architecture is any structure be easily moved (relatively speaking) to another site, either by an intrinsic transportation method (think mobile home on wheels) or by partially disassembling and then reassembling later (see OMA's prada transformer). Hope this helps. Best of luck.
