This paper  will comment on the issue of weightlessness in architecture and design and the importance of new material research through a brief examination of transportable buildings and building components. In the instances where the act of portability becomes a form-generator, In architecture and design, a different approach to available technology and material resources is required. The author will demonstrate, through designed examples that research on new materials and construction methods will continue to play an important role in the development of innovative design applications for transportable environments.
