earlier this month we featured american firm LOT-EK’s design for the APAP open school, in korea. here are some images of the construction process being built using 8 shipping containers. at ground level, the footprint of the shipping container structure becomes a public amphitheater taking advantage of the existing sloping topography. the amphitheater lower section connects to the existing stairway and offers a viewpoint along the river edge. the upper section, reaching a higher level, engages the large monitor of the open school for public viewing of the exhibition content.
