These 8 shipping containers have been recycled by students from Geneva University of Art and Design. A series of thematic modular units take their inspiration from the textures and colours which were prevalent in the 1970s. The students were aided in their creation of this funky commune by Daniel Zamarbide of Bureau A. These strange dwellings were for a short time, placed in the university’s courtyard and inhabited.
