Push Button House 1 by Adam Kalkin
Adam Kalkin’s Push Button House 1 demonstrates how industrial products can repurposed as architectural elements, or as entire homes. The Push Button House was originally displayed at Art Basel Miami in 2005, and uses a standard shipping container as the structure of a home. Kalkin’s concept uses hydraulic power to lift and lower the sides of the shipping container, vastly expanding the usable living space. His design incorporates bedrooms, a bathroom, kitchenette, and living area. Though not actually viable for use as a home, Kalkin’s Push Button House is one of many shipping container concepts that utilize an object that might otherwise lie dormant.

Push Button House 1 by Adam Kalkin « Ankebut weblog added these pithy words on Jun 17 09 at 10:21 amNot quite practical, but interesting as a demonstration project. The concept might be suitable for making buildings that can be erected quickly to provide housing for people in disasters, or other uses such as military, oil fields, and mining where housing and buildings have to be brought in and erected quickly. Shipping materials in is tough, but to be able to do so with the building in a shipping container is a great idea.

Chinese Translation:
Adam Kalkin的“按钮住宅”演示了工业产品如何作为建筑的元素，或者说，作为整个住宅。“按钮住宅”最初在在于2005年展出于迈阿密巴塞尔艺术展。并使用一个标准集装箱的结构。Kalkin的概念是利用液压动力升起或降低集装箱的边，扩大了可用的生活空间。他的设计结合了卧室、浴室、厨房和生活区。虽然它不能完全作为住宅使用，Kalkin的“按钮住宅”是许多集装箱概念设计中有潜力的一个。http://www.archgo.com/villa/push-botton-house-1-adam-kalkin.html
