Dreamer Posted July 31, 2006 Report Posted July 31, 2006 No seguimento de alguns tópicos que foram colocados e do concurso "Living Box", temos aqui um conceito diferente para uma loja que tem um tempo de vida previsto de 5 a 10 anos... The idea of the tower is inspred by the history of Freitag. Freitag was born in the student-flat of my brother Markus. He used to live next to the same freeway where the Freitag shop is located. The view out of his kitchen-window onto 24h Truck-traffic inspired us to produce bags from used tarps.See drawing below, left. Who and how did you get this idea of using containers? Isn't it dangerous to move inside the containers? How do you go from one level to the other? How do you bring light inside the containers? There is a staircase to climb to the shop levels and to the tower. The construction respects the Swiss norms, it's therefore very safe! There are four big windows and a glass-entry, so it is not dark at all. The building is isolated by Foamglas (made from recycled glass) to ensure that temperatures are comfortable both in the Winter and in the Summer. Is it a permanent installation? Do you plan to install similar constructions elsewhere in the world? The shop is planed to stay for 5 up to 10 years - it was a great challenge, but also great fun to realise this project. It is to early to say if we will open similar shops elsewhere in the world. But I would not say "no"...
