Container Architecture

This book showcases a diverse range of innovative container architecture, from a single container used for a temporary exhibition hall to thousands repurposed for a football stadium. Since their invention in the 1950s by Malcolm McLean, these simple steel boxes have transformed global trade and become integral to modern architecture. Featuring carefully selected projects, the book highlights creative applications of these standardized units, showcasing their versatility through unique designs—whether with rugged surfaces that tell a story, elegant wooden facades, or minimalist compositions enhanced by sophisticated lighting.
