concept & vision

an individual workstation for inspiration and creative production, that moves around to allow individual and/or collaborative work

design & architecture

the container is conceived as a modular and movable unit that can provide complete isolation or be combined to allow teamwork. Its top/front portion opens up to connect to more INSPIRO-TAINERS and create a meeting room

program & use

it is equipped with computer, flat screen monitor, stereo DVD/CD player, surround sound speakers, LCD projector and retractable screen, reading lights and ventilation fans. All inside surfaces are lined with convoluted foam used both as padding and acoustic insulation. All technologies and mechanisms are operated by a touch screen panel through which the user can easily activate and select preferred configurations

impact & significance

the INSPIRO-TAINER is an incubator for ideas. It retrofits an airplane cargo container (LD3) as an individual workstation that blurs the boundaries between work/play, activity/relaxation, isolation/communication, and meditation/entertainment
