BUILDING AND BUILDING SYSTEM

摘要

This invention relates to transportable buildings and to a system for providing buildings. In particular, the invention relates to robust, readily transportable buildings suitable for the provision of crisis housing in remote areas. This invention accordingly provides a transportable building module that includes at least two building components, in which during transport the said components are nested one within the other in a telescoping manner. In a further aspect, this invention provides a building system for a transportable building comprising: providing a transportable building module that includes at least two building components which are locatable one within the other in a telescoping manner for transport; transporting the module to a desired location in a nested configuration; extending the module by moving one component relative to the other in a telescoping manner to an extended configuration; fixing the components in the said extended configuration; and founding at least one component to the ground.
