Project: Container Stack Pavilion
Architects: People's Architecture
Area: 307 m²
Year: 2015
Location: Taiyuan, China
Shipping containers stacked to maximize views of the terrace and shaded common areas on the ground in the Container Stack Pavilion. A 7.5-meter cantilevered box is the entry point to the upper-level roof of the building, while the pavilion itself appears to extend out into surrounding streets, showing off its interior activities. The ends of each container are covered with full-height windows, allowing views throughout the entire building. Inside there is a double-height central atrium where the two levels of containers overlap. The Container Stack Pavilion is a temporary structure that can be disassembled and moved to other places.
