$1800 used shipping container as architects' backyard office

Shipping containers are built to carry huge loads and the refrigerated units are very efficient at climate control. So it's unsurprising that when they're retired from the sea, they're being used as the building blocks for homes and offices. Given their strength they work well in earthquake country. In Berkeley, California architect Karl Wanaselja and his business partner and wife Cate Leger created their home-office using a shipping container. It cost just $1800. Wanaselja and Leger cut their 40 foot long refrigerated unit in half and placed it in a T shape in their backyard (with the help of a crane). They didn't need to add any insulation: they're designed to not have any thermal bridging between the interior and exterior and the polyisocyanurate insulation has the highest R-value of any foam insulation. Using a sawzall (reciprocating saw), the couple cut huge windows into the aluminum/stainless steel structure. Wanaselja says he was initially intimidated by the idea of crafting out of aluminum (the exterior material) and stainless steel (interior), but "once I got over my learning curve I actually like working with metal". In this video, the couple talk about working in a cargo container, using materials like the soy-based plywood floor (Purebond) and the music made by rain and branches on a metal roof.

Enodo DemoReel 2012

As visual computing extends into more industries, real-time 3D worlds are changing fields like civil engineering, architecture, urban planning and transportation. In order to keep you updated about our search in Designing Virtual Realities for Real Life Business Applications, this is our latest compilation of this year's projects, all extracted from our Real Time 3D Simulations of urban projects. The virtual cityscapes shown here made it easy to visualize the changes that would result from a large-scale urban planning project, so that the impact of every design choice could be thoroughly considered, since changing any element of the virtual world is made easier with real-time 3D rendering that lets objects be moved and changes seen immediately .

Michael Maltzan, "Identity, Density, and Community in the Un-Model City"

Lecture by Michael Maltzan, MArch '88 of Michael Maltzan Architecture in Los Angeles. Since founding MMA in 1995, Michael Maltzan, FAIA, has created a practice which engages the increasingly complex reality of urbanization and information driven culture, charting a new trajectory for architecture and the public realm. Building on his background in the arts, he is committed to creating architecture that is a catalyst for new experiences and an agent for change in our cities. Through a shared belief in architecture's role in our cities, this work, from MoMA to Skid Row, creates new connections across a range of scales and programs. His most recent Skid Row project, the New Carver Apartments provides 97 permanent supportive housing units for formerly homeless residents. This project was awarded the 2011 AIA/HUD Secretary's Award for Excellence in Affordable Housing Design.
