Shipping container as miners hotel

21-4-2011

The now infamous Chilean mines are located in the country’s northern Atacama Desert, one of the most inhospitable places on earth. The demand for energy and minerals keeps on growing, so AATA Architects was challenged to design a low-cost but effective shelter for miners to inhabit one of the driest and sunniest places on earth. Their solution was to create a large apartment complex out of shipping containers and drape the entire campus with canvas to protect it from the region’s relentless sunshine.
