这座明亮红色的塔楼位于俄亥俄州哥伦布，建筑师将一个集装箱垂直放置，用作停车场的服务亭。

该项目由当地公司Jonathan Barnes Architecture and Design(JBAD)设计，塔楼高40英尺高（12米），激发人们对城市偏远地区的关注。

This bright red tower in Columbus, Ohio, is constructed from a shipping container turned vertically and serves as a booth for a parking attendant.
Designed by local firm Jonathan Barnes Architecture and Design (JBAD), the 40-foot-tall (12-metre) tower is intended to act as a landmark for an overlooked part of the city's downtown area.
 

JBAD在一份声明中表示：“这座塔楼突出了城市天际线，形成高低不一的空间感，其比例和整体性质呼应了周围的办公楼。”

除了为停车服务员提供空间之外，这座小建筑的部分面积也用于其他功能。

"This tower presents the parking booth as a new tower on the city's skyline, realised at a scale both tall and small, its proportions and monolithic nature mimicking the office towers that surround it," said JBAD in a statement.
In addition to providing space for a parking attendant, a portion of the small building's floor area can be used for other functions.
 

JBAD表示：“停车位仅占总体面积的三分之二左右，而另外三分之一为灵活的功能空间。场地上可以有几种不同的功能选择，其中有食品推车、咖啡服务车和自行车存放区。”

在塔楼的南面和西面，立面开口十分引人注目。如果停车服务未开启，那么塔楼也将关闭。

“在塔楼的北部，聚碳酸酯升降式折叠车库门在敞开时既可作为灵活服务空间的顶篷，又可在封闭时隐藏空间。”JBAD于1993年由建筑师Jonathan Barnes在哥伦布创立。

建筑面积宽8英尺，长9英尺（2.5X2.75米），这是集装箱的标准尺寸。集装箱在建筑工程中逐渐普及，用于住房、展览空间、教学设施、楼梯和游泳池等各种场合。

"The parking booth's program takes up approximately two-thirds of the floor area leaving the other third as flexible program space," JBAD said. "Several options that can work interchangeably on the site include food carts, coffee cart service and bike storage."
On the south and west facades of the tower, storefront-like openings allow the parking attendant to keep an eye on the lot. This system also allows the tower to close when the lot is not in operation.
"On the north, a polycarbonate lift-and-fold garage door acts as both a canopy over the flexible service space when open, and conceals the space when closed," said the firm, founded by architect Jonathan Barnes in Columbus in 1993.
The floor area is eight feet wide by nine feet long (2.5 by 2.75 metres) – the standard dimensions of a shipping container. The industrial crates keep cropping in architecture projects, used for everything from housing, exhibition spaces and teaching facilities to staircases and swimming pools.

JBAD说：“低成本且常见的集装箱（也称为Intermodal Steel Building Units——ISBU）为MicroTower的建造提供了理想的解决方案。”

使用这种施工方法，设计团队可以在场地之外就将大部分塔楼建造完成，然后将其搬至最终位置，并添加店面装饰和窗户等设施。

"Inexpensive and readily available, shipping containers (also known as Intermodal Steel Building Units, or ISBU's) offer an ideal solution to the construction of the MicroTower," said JBAD's statement.
Using this construction method allowed the team to mostly build the tower offsite, before bringing it to its final location, and adding the storefront and window hardware.
