The Transportable Classrooms of the Future
Gollifer Langston Architects is an architectural studio for commercial, education, arts, media, residential and public design. The proposal for the transportable Classrooms of the Future is to create a prototype highly information and communication technology (ICT) resourced demountable “clip-on” classroom for use throughout Camden (outside of London).
The classroom is able to be easily fitted out with advanced ICT, and to be installed rapidly, safely and cheaply. It arrives onsite as an oblong gray pod. Computer control systems activate hydraulic legs that position the container onto the ground, and allow sections of the wall and roof to expand and open. The side wall of the container also opens out to enable an external audience to view films on a small-cinema-sized screen from within the shell. Therefore the classroom is not only a learning environment; it is also a presentational facility.
It will have capabilities of adapting for additional needs as technology races beyond what even the next generation can predict. An opportunity exists to facilitate the use of advanced and developing ICT in an innovative school based environment, different and complimentary to current provision and representing a window on the future.

Can somebody please explain me why a classroom should be mobile?
I really like this site and The Transportable Classrooms of the Future | Design, Interior, Home Stuff & Modern Furniture . I read about you on another site I found on AOL and thought they had great views as well.
