ShipShop organized three shipping containers, two to house six students and the other to house tools. The site plan struggled with appropriate tensions between the containers, and between what became know as the “Man-tainer” (the ruggedness and close quarters seemed to attract the guys, while the women remained in the historic Scorup – plus the separation of gender is mandated by Risk Management). A common room connects the containers, parallel in x dimension, asymmetrical in y, with bathroom, couches and refrigerator, providing another eddy in which students vented steam from a hard day’s work, at times the preferred hang out. The stick-framed common area is clad with aluminum spent from a printer’s drums, still featuring images and copy in reverse, and in four separate colors. Donated cedar slats soften the cacophony of images and color, while parapets feature the repurposed, found mailboxes acting as scuppers. Translucent monopan, a rare high-tech treat, but made of 100% recycled plastic provides a perfect diffused light by day, giving a lantern effect at night. The shops accordion doors are also monopan, wonderful for light to work with within the shop while calm from the storms. An aluminum ceiling, from 3Form’s donation of spent sheets used for pressing recycled plastic panels sandwiching ornament of choice within, helps reflect light into the lively shop, where pieces of future projects can be fabricated in controlled environment. Reflected insulating paint augments thin rigid insulation within furred out interior walls of the containers, and interior finishes include natural plaster and concrete floor framed by cement and broken beer glass aggregate.
