Quatrième de couverture

In the 1950s, plain steel boxes with corrugated profiles revolutionized the international trade sector. Today, these huge receptacles for storing and transporting cargo have found their way into architecture to become an essential part of the contemporary global building culture. These standardized, strictly geometrically conceived units are the basis for increasingly astonishing architectural applications and design experiments.

In our ever-changing world with its hybrid forms of living and working, this book presents a collection of remarkable concepts and solutions based on containers. In very different contexts, they are stacked, cut, and assembled to create sophisticated design concepts and cleverly conceived functional solutions. As different as the approaches and uses may be, they all share the underlying high quality and impressive conception of the projects and their skillful structural implementation.
