I recently came across this wonderful retail concept by Puma that uses 24 shipping containers to create mobile architecture of 3 storeys high and weighs 11 tons. The structure was made in China and shipped across to Alicante before the start of the Volvo Ocean Race.
Puma initiated this design challenge in July 2007 that was won by Lot EK - a design entity that is successfully blurring the boundaries between art and architecture.
Aside from being a mobile architecture, Puma City also meets with international building codes, withstands all climatic conditions and can be quickly assembled or disassembled. Its double height indoor and outdoor space and cantilevered top deck provides ample space for retail, parties and other events.
It is quite rare to be impressed by design ingenuinity. Puma City definitely is worth a 'WOW'.
