Jaspreet Kaur Walia:
Crates are commonly used to transport items from one place to the other in a secure manner and are primarily made of wood. Every year a large number of crates are discarded and very little is done to use them in a better manner. You will be stunned to learn that there are a few people who understand the worth of these thrown away crates and have reused them to make buildings that are worth gawking at. These sustainable creations have been styled in a way to leave an everlasting impression. Below is a list of six stunning architecture designs that have made using recycled crates.
1. Cratehouse
The Cratehouse, a creation by Berthold Horbelt and Wolfgang winter, will force people to slip into a state of awe. The beautiful construction has been made using bottle crates that rest nicely on the top of a shipping container. It is a fine example of reusing stuff in a creative manner. The German artists made this awe-inspiring building in the year 2006 and it stands with utmost panache in Castleford, Yorkshire. The building has also won a place in the list of top ten works of public art in United Kingdom. The duo has been working with shipping containers and crates ever since 1992 and must say they do justice to these products that are thrown away without realizing what they are worth. Hundreds of crates were used and given an impressive shape of a building that has been used for poetry readings, workshops and meetings. Cratehouse is a walk through sculpture that lets natural light pierce through the spaces present in a crate. This creates a mystical aura and leave people wheezing.
2. Pallet House
Pallet House has been made using reused wooden pallets and is simply beautiful. The sustainable building is modular in nature and is a great example of affordable and energy efficient housing options. The idea will prove to be a saving grace for people who can’t afford to shell a lot of money on building materials. Pallet House is brainchild of two students named Gregor Pils and Andreas Claus Schnetzer from the University of Vienne. The awesome design was declared the winning entry at the GAUDI European Student Competition held in the year 2008. Pallets have a standard size, are easy to use and can be recycled effortlessly. Pallet House has been put on display in various cities of Europe and always manages to collect unending appreciations.
3. Living Pavilion
Reclaimed milk crates have been given an attention-grabbing appearance in the form of Living Pavilion that ornaments the Governors Island in New York. It has been designed by Ana Ha and Behrang Behin that won’t have any harmful impact on the environment. The wave like structure supports the growth of crops that will provide food when harvested. The shape will easily capture sunrays and will in turn support the growth of various kinds of plants. Besides this the Living Pavilion will also provide shade and protect people from harsh sunrays during the summer season. The temporary structure acts as a great gathering space and is a great way to reuse things effectively.
4. Boxel Pavilion
Boxel Pavilion has been brought to life by students of the University of Applied Sciences located in Detmold, Germany. The eye-catching pavilion has been made using as many as 2000 beer crates that have been arranged in an artistic way. The full scale pavilion was constructed by using computer modeling. This was exploited for load bearing and then placing the crates in the desired position. After this screws and slats were used to keep the structure from snapping apart. The base consists of boxes that are old beer crates in actuality. They were filled with concrete and give necessary stability to the overall design. All the materials used can be recycled and the entire construction juts consumed one week. Boxel Pavilion is aesthetically pleasing and unfurls a great space that can be used for concerts, events, gatherings and all kinds of presentations that take place on the campus.
5. Slumtube
Slumtube is a modular pallet house that has been brought to life by Gregor Pils and Andreas Claus Schnetzer. The affordable housing option has been erected near Johannesburg in an effort to improve living standards of people living there. The design has a round shape and is soundless. It is well insulated and makes good use of discarded pallets, straw and clay. Slumtube will emerge as a winner even in extreme weather conditions that are experienced in this region.
6. Pavillon du Bonheur Provisoire
Pavillion du Bonheur Provisoire will make people slip in a state of awe with its exquisiteness. The 600 meter temporary construction has been created using 33000 empty Jupiler beer cases. It has been shaped like a cube and the total assembly took a good 3900 hours and 19 workers. The inside is as impressive as the outside and the pavilion also features a courtyard for added fun moments. Pavillion du Bonheur Provisoire looks as if it has been made using Lego parts but is actually a great example of sustainable structures packed with style.
