Description

"Renowned for their transformations of commonplace industrial objects, Ada Tolla and Giuseppe Lignano of LOT-EK tackle the standardized shipping container. The resulting project, Mobile Dwelling Unit (MDU), transforms an existing 40-foot-long shipping container into a portable living space. Equipped with a series of expandable and retractable subvolumes, each of which contains a discrete function, the MDU can be easily transported via truck, train, or ship to its next location. 'LOT-EK: MDU' extensively documents the project with source imagery, renderings, construction drawings, and photographs of the fabrication process. Essays by Aaron Betsky, Robert Kronenburg, and Henry Urbach, as well as an interview with the artists provide important contexts for understanding the MDU"--Back cover.
