the whitney studio is a the two-storey loft space measuring 600-square feet which functions as both a gallery as well as an education space
for conducting public programs - including art classes for people of all ages and informal lectures - for new york's whitney museum of american art.
designed by LOT-EK to fit within the institution's open moat, on the south side of the entry bridge, the black cubic volume is comprised of
six shipping containers which have been stacked in two rows of three.
a continuous diagonal band of fenestration highlighted by a bright yellow, runs along two sides and the roof, visually extending the
enclosed area to the museum's ground floor sculpture court, offering glimpses out to the activities of visitors.
the windows can also be opened to circulate airflow throughout (as a supplement to HVAC - heating, ventilation and air conditioning).
the temporary space has been realized in preparation for the whitney's move to the meat packing district in 2015, and will be removed
at that time.

Overpopulation and mobility changed our life style and living today. Natural disaster frequently makes thousands of people houses less; to overcome from all these types of situations containers homes can be the best option. Containers homes are so much easy to build in short period of time and this is also a safe way for living.
