The Puma Store is an inspiration to all architects out there with lots of time and energy and access to a supply of old shipping containers. I consider this store to be a sort of dialogue with some of the past stores Ive seen where the designers have stacked 6 units high by one wide. This one answers the gravity challenge by creating a massive cantilever with no visible support. How’d they do that? Look back at some of Rem Koolhaas’ earlier works to remind yourself ho.
This Just In-box: new Puma VS new Nike VS new Adidas – Core77.

Its great to see shipping containers put to some good use at last. I’ve just read somewhere where the containers were used to make a hotel so its good to see them being used for shops as well. What next i wonder? Excellent!
