What I get from a google image search for portable building all looks perfectly fine as building in OSM: https://www.google.it/images?q=portable+building&oi=image_result_group Not sure if "portable" is a nice building type for OSM, I'd see this more as an attribute and use something like "cabin" or "hut" or "shed" (or whatever it is) to describe the typology (in terms of function and structure / aspect / image). You can find examples for temporary buildings also in looking at the designs for emergency shelter, eg. complete concrete shelter put up in one day: http://designboom.com/weblog/images/images_2/andy/00_aerobics2012/pop-up_sample_lesson/07.jpg (this will be quite permanent due to the nature of concrete) the opposite, a light-weight structure: http://designboom.com/weblog/images/images_2/andy/00_aerobics2012/pop-up_sample_lesson/03.jpg this one is more like a tent, but if it sits there for years... http://designboom.com/weblog/images/images_2/andy/00_aerobics2012/pop-up_sample_lesson/02.jpg african style: http://designboom.com/weblog/images/images_2/andy/00_aerobics2012/pop-up_sample_lesson/08.jpg http://designboom.com/weblog/images/images_2/andy/00_aerobics2012/pop-up_sample_lesson/09.jpg Who wouldn't call this a house (it's made of shipping containers): https://www.pinterest.com/pin/160722280425530628/ cheers, Martin
