Riassunto

Reclaimed, reused and virtually indestructible: The gestalten bestseller Container Atlas comes in a long awaited updated edition.In recent years container architecture has become an essential part of our twenty-first-century surroundings, with it being used to create modular structures for pavilions, brand showrooms, retail premises and even residential homes. During this time, architects have been developing increasingly inventive methods of working with this unassuming construction material, shifting from simple stacks to elaborate compositions. Whereas this architectural approach began as a straightforward way to create temporary buildings, Container Atlas seeks out luxurious remote hideaways, urban dwellings, community centers, and more, all showing how the humble container can put the fab into pre-fab.

In recent years container architecture has become an essential part of our twenty-firstcentury surroundings, with it being used to create modular structures for pavilions, brand showrooms, retail premises, and even residential homes. During this time, architects have been developing increasingly inventive methods of working with this unassuming construction material, shifting from simple stacks to elaborate compositions. Whereas this architectural approach began as a straightforward way to create temporary buildings, Container Atlas seeks out luxurious remote hideaways, urban dwellings, community centers, and more, all showing how the humble container can put the fab into pre-fab.

"Tien jaar na de eerste publicatie lanceert uitgeverij gestalten een herwerkte versie van het boek Container Atlas, a practical guide to container architecture. In het lijvige verzamelwerk van hedendaagse containerarchitectuur is er ook plaats voor het Belgische bureau Sculp(it) en architect Luc Deleu.
Door de groeiende opkomst van het aantal containergebouwen over de wereld was er nood aan een atlas die het toonbeeld zou geven voor de containerarchitectuur. Het boek presenteert dan ook een breed aanbod aan projecten in de containerarchitectuur. Container Atlas dient als een praktische en inspirerende handleiding. 10 jaar na de eerste publicatie is er nog steeds vraag naar, waardoor er een recente geüpdatete versie is gekomen. Het boek plaatst ook twee Belgische architecten en hun projecten in de kijker: Sculp(it) architecten Silvia Mertens en Pieter Peerlings met hun Live/work space en Luc Deleu met zijn werken Orbino, Construction X, Hoorn Bridge en Speybank".
