Abstract
1- As cities emerge in indeterminate directions, the mobility of structures prolongs their usability.
2- A portable church having an approximate life of 40-50 years will be capable of being re-erected several times and have expansion potential where greater activity requires.
3- Alternative uses include their semi-permanent construction in underdeveloped countries, or areas of natural disasters, to bring solidarity among people.
4- "Simplicity, standardization, openness, spaciousness and lightness...vitality."
