EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and captivating print showcases the remarkable Container City 2, located in Orchard Place, Poplar, Tower Hamlets, Greater London. Standing tall with its bright yellow and red exterior, this modern architectural marvel is a true testament to creative conversion. Container City 2 was ingeniously constructed using reclaimed shipping containers, resulting in a temporary yet visually stunning structure. The east elevation of this container city at Trinity Buoy Wharf is captured beautifully in this image by Philippa Lewis. Installed over just eight days in 2002, Container City 2 stands as an innovative example of repurposing materials for urban development. An interconnecting bridge gracefully links it with Container City 1, creating a seamless connection between these two unique spaces. The photograph perfectly captures the bold colors and contemporary design that make Container City 2 such an eye-catching sight. Its unconventional use of shipping containers adds an element of intrigue to the landscape while also highlighting sustainable architecture possibilities. While not mentioning its commercial use explicitly, this print invites viewers to appreciate the artistic beauty found within functional structures like Container City 2. It serves as a reminder that even temporary constructions can leave a lasting impression on both our surroundings and our imagination.
