Condition: As New. Leichte Abnutzungen. Shipping containers are modular, affordable, and virtually indestructible, increasingly utilized for temporary structures like pavilions, offices, galleries, and bars that can be relocated easily. This trend, known as container architecture, is explored in depth, showcasing a variety of contemporary projects and the evolution of this innovative field. The book illustrates how containers serve as building blocks for urban nomads' daily lives and special events, featuring playful and short-term designs that often reflect current trends. It includes examples of advertising, pop-up stores, and temporary exhibits, alongside sophisticated housing and office spaces. Found in both urban and rural environments, these container structures inspire and challenge conventional standards of functionality and aesthetics. Detailed reports by experts explain the historical development of container use in architecture, document plans, outline costs, and propose solutions for common challenges. The book introduces various container types, from standard shipping models to customized modular pieces. It serves as a practical and inspirational reference for architects, planners, cultural activists, and event managers, helping them select the most suitable containers for their projects. With extensive experience in container architecture, architect Han Slawik and his team are recognized as international experts in the field. Seller Inventory # 9de2b27f-5d33-4a2d-a953-ec809158bc1a
