Historically, shipping containers were large steel boxes used to haul large materials across the globe. But, thanks to cargotecture, this is no longer the case.
Cargotecture, the art of shipping container architecture, uses steel shipping containers as the structural element, inheriting the structure's strength and eco-friendly behaviour.
As such, shipping containers are the idyllic building block structure as they're robust, modular and mobile. Their modular design means by placing containers together like Lego, constructions of all sizes are possible.
Not only that, but shipping containers are also easily transportable, can be connected to the electricity grid, and be fitted to the water supply and sewage network - making them the perfect structure for all kinds of architectural projects.
The corrugated structure of the shipping container is highly desirable too as structurally, the design demands attention. And through cargotecture, fabrication and modification, shipping containers can be reimagined into almost any space.
Shipping container cargotecture for events
Shipping containers and cargotecture has revolutionised the event and exhibition industry. Every year, more and more brands are realising and harnessing the power the indestructible structure brings in their event marketing and communications.
Completely customisable, shipping container conversions provide the perfect temporary event space as they are aesthetically appealing, spacious, durable, secure, weatherproof and easy to set up.
At The Events Structure, we have many shipping container conversion products available to hire short- and long-term, all providing a blank event structure canvas for application types. We also offer a custom-build option for projects requiring slightly more cargotecture.
For a custom-build music festival project for All Out Beauty, we created a large shipping container construction using eight 20’ ISO shipping containers. Whereas for a new business premise in London, we converted a 10ft donor shipping container into a container café measuring just 2.44x3.05x2.29m, fitting the cargotecture structure with electrics and its own water supply.
With our experience within cargotecture, we bring your application ideas to life by converting shipping containers into quality event spaces. Through design and build, our event spaces turn heads.
The Events Structure has converted many shipping containers and brought many visionaries to life through design and build through cargotecture, build and design.
