Seoul’s Modern Shipping Container Art Center

PLATOON KUNSTHALLE



A striking example of shipping container architecture, Platoon Kunsthalle serves as an exciting and inspiring new exhibit hall and art center in Seoul, Korea. Built from standard shipping containers by Graft Lab Architects. The Art Center also features four visiting artist studio (Labeled A, B, C, D).


Platoon Kunsthalle is part of the Platoon Cultural Development Center, which opened its doors in 2000 in Berlin. Programs and projects in the center focus on street art, graphic design, fashion, video art, programming, music, club culture, political activism, and more.


Graft Lab Architects, who have offices in Los Angeles, Beijing and Berlin, have constructed a very intriguing building out of shipping container boxes – 28 of them in fact. The 40-foot long recycled containers were stacked on top of each other and arranged to create a dynamic and exciting space.
