Some time ago we invited Denis Oudendijk and Jan Korbes of mobile architecture firm VLNR to give a presentation at our Pecha Kucha Night Amsterdam. They inspired the audience talking about creating interesting new stuff from old tires. Another VLNR project is the Capsule Hotel, which aims to establish a brilliant piece of easy accessible ‘garbage architecture’. People can rent a floating capsule (suited for two persons) from a reasonable price of 35 euros per night. “James Bond meets Barbarella”, according to the creators. The Capsule Hotel will be floating in Antwerp till May 24.

[...] If that’s just too ordinary, you can stay in a section of drainage pipe, a former wine cask, or a floating pod that used to be part of an oil rig. If you’d like a sense of control as part of your hotel stay, [...]
[...] The fifth section of the book is called ‘Just Lose It’ and presents projects that “illustrate both the possibilities opened up by a loss of control or the breakdown of form in ever-eclectic constructions, and the potential of recycling waste materials for building construction”. Here, the Spacecraft authors emphasize the creative potential of waste materials and give insight in architectural responses to over-consumption.
