Purchase options and add-ons

This book presents a wide range of projects in container architecture – a contemporary architectural phenomenon. It features container structures used as pop-up stores and temporary exhibits as well as sophisticated housing and office spaces that provoke and inspire while setting new standards in functionality and aesthetics. But the book is not only visually inspiring. Because it documents plans, describes associated costs, and suggests concrete solutions for common problems, it is a practical reference for architects, planners, and cultural activists as well as event and marketing managers, to guide them in deciding what types of containers are best suited to their upcoming projects.

4.0 out of 5 stars Nice book, good for case studies
Reviewed in the United States on June 10, 2012
Verified Purchase
I purchased this book and just as the other reviews said, it is a case study book full of high quality images of different types of container structures. It's very generic when describing the construction itself, does not provide any construction details or information. If you are looking for detail information this book is not the book your looking for. Only provides images, some floor plan distributions and a brief description of each structure. Overall I liked the book it's nice to have...

This is a really informative book. If you are seriously thinking about building with shipping containers, this is well worth the money and will save you from possible mistakes. Lots of technical stuff I didn't understand, but I think this would be
a valuable aid to any builder.

5.0 out of 5 stars The quality of the photographs was excellent and the book is well printed on good paper
Reviewed in the United States on June 11, 2016
Verified Purchase
The quality of the photographs was excellent and the book is well printed on good paper. There was a good history of the containers themselves as well as detailed descriptions of the various sizes in the industry. The book contained a much broader expanse of what can be done building with shipping containers. I expected just offices and homes but museums, retail spaces art projects were also included. It is well worth the cost. My fiance and I both enjoyed it.

This book is one of the best i have ever purchased and would recommend it to anyone, not just people interested in container construction. The book is full of information from number of containers manufactured per year to sizes and styles. There are a great range of shapes and designs from industrial to residential. Amazing.

4.0 out of 5 stars New ideas - container atlas
Reviewed in the United States on June 10, 2010
Verified Purchase
The book gives a survey of different types of buildings built with shipping containers around the world. It has a lot of examples (90) of stylish buildings designed with containers. It is beautifully illustrated with many high quality photos and small design plans. The book provides a short description of the buildings and a few simple building details. Could have been more details. But, if you want some ideas for new buildings with shipping containers this book will definitely help you.

建築関係の仕事に関わっておりまして、近年注目を浴びつつあるコンテナを活用した商業地や住宅のデザインに興味を持ち、こちらを購入してみました。
日本では難しいものもありますが、実際に本を見てみるととても面白いです。

従来までのコンテナというイメージを捨て去るには良い一冊です。

Libro è aggiornato al 2009. Lingua INGLESE
Le prime 40 pagine contengono analisi dell'elemento container (dimensioni, modularità, agganci, ecc...) Davvero molto ben fatto. Vedi foto.
Contiene le più celebri architetture composte in container. Foto e descrizione. Troverete moltissimi progetti anche navigando on line, ma la pubblicazione merita. Ottima carta, moltissime fotografie.
Se avete avuto l'occasione di vivere dal vivo uno dei "contenitori" di Platoon Kunsthalle non potrete che non desiderare questa pubblicazione (foto in copertina)

Los proyectos, que son bastantes, están bastante más detallados que en otros libros. Sin embargo no esperes encontrar detalles constructivos.
La introducción sobre la construcción con contenedores es bastante didáctica.
