The use of shipping containers for housing has been a matter of contention lately, but its feasibility as an edgy performance venue seems to stand its ground. In Sion, a small town south of Switzerland, local firm Savioz Fabrizzi Architectes injected a bunch of old shipping containers into an existing building and created a grungy new music venue. At the center of the two-story structure is a concert hall that seats 300, surrounded by rehearsal space, dressing rooms and a breakout lounge.
One of the containers has been turned into a bar with all its industrial aesthetic retained. Everything looks a bit apocalyptic in daylight. But when the sun goes down and the band (and beers) come out, the whole scheme becomes a lot more compelling.
