See shipping container architecture anywhere? I hate to break it to the architects, but it was my idea first. Well, at least,  I did this project back in 2003.  This was a school project, for a class called space analysis… the class was concerned with the organization of space,  not architecture.  I kind of wish that if I was going to have spent this much time on an architectural model, the design had been more practical and feasible.  This would be more solar oven than beach house. Pretty model though!

All of the product design that I was doing at the time was utilizing found form.  What interested me was, could I apply the found form concepts I was working with to architecture? I saw an example of that use from the design team Lot-ek. They did a project here in NYC in 1996/1997… though I have not been able to find photos of it. I think it has since been torn down.
