Description
Shipping Container by Craig Martin explores the ubiquitous object that is the shipping container. Found in almost every aspect of modern life, from highways and docks to big box stores and shopping centres, it's an object we often take for granted. But what lies behind its ubiquity? What design history, standardization, aesthetics, and speculative discussions can shed light on this everyday thing? This beautifully designed book delves into the development of containerization, revealing the surprising stories and ideas that have shaped our global trade.
