Week Two - More Research

So the research continues as a few attempts over the past week to begin a solid design seem to have failed. Hoping that by better understanding how portables work, what is required within them and what the inherent issues within them are that need attention a few more refined ideas can go down on paper.

First page i found was from the Department of Education which gave a very brief outline of when and where portables are required. What was more interesting though was a PDF that was attached. I've got both the link here for the site and the PDF, look at the PDF first but if it doesn't link just get to it through the site.

Site: http://www.gippsland.vic.edu.au/SchoolSupport/SchoolFacilities/RelocatableTransfer/tabid/103/Default.aspx

PDF: http://www.sofweb.vic.edu.au/edulibrary/public/propman/facility/RelocatableProgram_Aug2005.pdf

Figuring that knowledge can't help i went to where all the good info is...Wiki! Here i found seperate pages on modular buildings and portable buildings so i thought it was worth linking both.

Modular: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Modular_building

Portable: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portable_building

So hopefully with this new information a few better ideas will come along. Only 3 weeks until the design is finalised...
