# Prefabricated Mobile Pavilions Porte Cochere Brings Versatility and Sustainability to the UN By Jordan M | Published 2011-01-09 | Eco Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/porte-cochere References: [archdaily](http://www.archdaily.com/101674/united-nations-porte-cochere-ftl-design-engineering-studio/) & [ftlstudio](http://www.ftlstudio.com/) The Porte Cochere from FTL Design Engineering Studios is a completely reusable and portable pavillion that is being used to serve as an interim building while the New York [UN](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cultivated-meat) grounds are under renovation. Instead of simply having a few parts that can be reused time and time again, the entire structure can be collapsed, dismantled and rebuilt on a whim whenever needed. Porte Cochere is a modern example of an age-old wisdom: Avoid reinventing the wheel whenever possible. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.7/10 - Popularity: 56% | Activity: 17% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Eco](https://www.trendhunter.com/eco) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Reusable Structures:** The trend of creating collapsible and rebuildable structures offers opportunities for efficient and sustainable construction methods. - **Versatile Pavilions:** The trend of designing versatile pavilions that can be easily repurposed for different locations and purposes brings flexibility and adaptability to event planning and temporary spaces. - **Sustainable Renovation Solutions:** The trend of using prefabricated mobile pavilions as interim buildings during renovations provides a sustainable solution that minimizes disruption and waste. ### Who This Affects Most - **Construction:** The construction industry can explore the use of modular and collapsible structures to streamline construction processes and reduce waste. - **Event Planning:** Event planning and management industries can benefit from versatile pavilions that can be easily adapted and reused for different events and locations. - **Architecture:** The architecture industry can embrace the trend of sustainable renovation solutions using prefabricated mobile pavilions to offer innovative and eco-friendly building options. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Reconfigurable Timber Pavilions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/arkhive.md) - [Tent-Like Exhibition Pavilions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bolack-pavilion.md) - [Timber Modern Porch Pavilions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/porch-an-architecture-of-generosity.md) - [Lily-Shaped Reusable Pavilions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/srivan.md) - [Public Pavilion Architecture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tess-pavilion.md) - [Interactive Architectural Pavilions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/folding-landscape.md) - [Outdoor Pavilion Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/teepee-pavilion.md) - [Climate-Sensitive Pavilion Structures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/querkraft.md) - [Humanized Waiting Pavilions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/de-wachtkamer.md)
