Human interaction with the universal contiainer


Step One: Exterior elements 


The universal shipping container and relation of moving goods via sea. There are 1000s of reported shipping containers in the ocean and are floating or have sunk. My idea here is to take the idea of floating containers and make a statement out of them. The floating escape is a idea that came to my mind when I was thinking about the stresses of life and how a lot of people want to escape. My space is the escape, its not on the land but floats in the near by sea. There are 5 Containers and they have been cut into each other in a unorganized way which doest look constructed in the standard way of stacking. The unnaturalness of the grass growing on steel is what i liked and also the way trees can provide shade and also grow.

Step Two: Constructing the Interior 



The interior elements of this space is constructed using pallet walls that slide to open the space up to flow freely onto the outside platform. The Grass is greener, the trees are brighter its autumn space inside. The space also acts as a shelter from the rain, wind and other harsh elements. The autumn trees give the inside space a much more unique and and separate space.


Step Three: Bring the two together



The two merged together to create my final year project. The simple shipping container made into a space were human can interact and escape.
