I spy… Vignelli!

Summer is always construction season, but we don’t always have Vignelli-designed shipping containers on campus.

“I rarely traveled to any city around the world without seeing one of the containers.” p. 189 “Lella and Massimo Vignelli: Design is One”

From 1992-1998 Vignelli Associates designed the corporate identity for British company Sea Containers (aka Seaco) and their various subsidiaries. In 1995, Seaco was considering a merger with Genstar (the marine container leasing subsidiary of General Electric.)

In a letter to Massimo Vignelli from Seaco says:

“It seems to me the new “GenSeaCo” livery should incorporate some elements of our “Seaco” livery and some elements of the Genstar livery while at the same time saying that GenSeaCo is not wither Sea Containers or General Electric, but instead has its own place in the market.”

In the archives, the Vignellis’ saved some of the process work for the Seaco corporate identity including some ideas that were never implemented.

shipping container poetry

So Hitler’s on the train, and he’s got a lot of freight He wants to move it quickly, he doesn’t want to wait

He puts it all in parcels, he puts it all in bags But frankly he’d be better off wrapping it in rags

He looks around, he asks his mates, how do I move this stuff? And one of them does say to him “my boxes are quite tough!”

This box it comes in one good size for that is all you need When cargo you now have to move with elegance and speed

You stack them up or lay them long, it’s really up to you This standard box of standard size it is a dream come true

On a truck, in a boat, this box can take the strain If you live in good countries it even goes by train

And because it is of standard size you really have no doubt Of whether anything will on its journey just fall out

And if we can all use one size and on this size agree A group of happy cargo haulers we are soon to be

So now you see, you really do, this box is a no brainer And let me introduce you to your new … Shipping Container

good afternoon!

had time to continue working on the containers a bit, they got a drybrushin and I started putting decals onto them now

the decals are surprisingly time intensive (I'm applying them on both sides so it looks the same no matter how you turn it), but also quite neat to see it coming together after all the decals are on it's off for an inbetween varnish and then it's time to get dirty

(via Arizona Gov. Doug Ducey agrees to remove border wall of shipping containers)

well lucky us living in AZ - we got to pay this douchey feller to move these dang things IN the way, and now we pay to REMOVE them. 

A lot of money and effort could have gone into something of value for the state...like education funds?

PROJECT: EVERGREEN HARBOUR

BUILD: THE SHIPPING VIEWS

Purchased and recently renovated by Eloisa Santino and Diego Montecarlo, The Shipping Views has two functions. Firstly, it is their home. Secondly, it is the office of their new design company, Atrend Modern Designs Co. Although Diego gives his advice and opinion from time to time, it's really Eloisa who is behind the interior and exterior of this lot.

Area: Port Promise

Lot Size: 30 x 20

Lot Traits: Home Studio, Romantic Aura, Natural Light

The first floor includes the dining area, living room, kitchen and a toilette/laundry area.

And yes, Eloisa decided to have a ladder instead of stairs to free up more space.

The second floor serves as Eloisa's and Diego's bedroom. It also includes a mini-living area, walk-in robe and an ensuite. It also opens up to a balcony which connects the house to their office area.

Atrend Modern Designs Co. is on the other side of The Shipping Views. It has an office area for both Eloisa and Diego in a mezzanine area. The ground floor serves as an area for the young couple to welcome their clients in.

The Shipping Views has an outdoor entertainment area as well as an area where Eloisa and Diego can paint, woodwork and plant.
