Dan Graham : New York is slowly becoming suburbanized. Besides the large city-operated parks, I have been fascinated over the years by the corporate make-overs of open public spaces, such as the botanical garden inside the Chemical Bank headquarters on Park Avenue or the IBM Building atrium on Madison Avenue and 57th Street. This was the very beginning of the suburbanization of New York. The gardens and atriums these corporations built, as part of larger complexes, were an attempt to have a controlled, semipublic green space, to keep people in the city.

These are 18 bitmap format design studies for house/sculptures configured from 20' and 40' commercial shipping containers. The interiors range in square feet from just under 160 sf for the single twenty footer to just under 2,080 sf for the quadruple unit fashioned from six twenty footers and seven forty footers. Each design may be increased two fold in size by the double-widing (coupling identical units could provide unlimited depth in design) of the design. The door/window features are two panel sliding glass door sections approx. 4' x 8' per panel. Access to the upper floors is via spiral steel stair cases with the option of internal or external installation. They are offered as on/off grid shelters.
