Dixon Jones建筑工作室与雕塑家David Mach共同合作，为爱丁堡活动与销售空间进行方案构思，他们将红色集装箱堆叠在一起。

该项目名为“Mach1”，这座雕塑型建筑位于爱丁堡公园商业区的未开发部分，展示了Dixon Jones的场地整体规划。

这座建筑由36个集装箱组合而成，是英国雕塑家Mach的建筑处女作。这位雕塑家通过一系列红色的集装箱，让建筑看起来如同一堆岩石，其灵感来源于儿时Fife海岸的参观。

Architecture studio Dixon Jones and sculptor David Mach have collaborated on a proposal for an event space and marketing suite in Edinburgh, which will be made from a stack of bright red shipping containers.
Named Mach1, the sculptural building will be located in an undeveloped section of the Edinburgh Park business district to showcase Dixon Jones' masterplan for the site.
Comprising of 36 shipping containers it will be British sculptor Mach's first building. He has designed the stack of red containers to look like a giant heap of rocks that he recalled from visits to the Fife coastline as a child.

Dixon Jones工作室的合伙人Chris Milan说：“我们一直和David有着密切的合作，这是雕塑与建筑的结合。”

“该作品引人注目，同时也具有功能性，不管从哪个角度，它看起来都具有动态效果。”

"We have been working closely with David to realise his creation, a mix of sculpture and architecture," said Chris Milan, associate director at Dixon Jones.
"The structure is intended to be an eye catching and engaging piece of art, as well as a functional building," he told Dezeen. "We love the way it never seems to sit still – the way it looks so different from every angle."



爱丁堡公园位于城市的西侧，美国建筑师理查德·迈耶在20年前对这个位于苏格兰首都的商业公园进行了规划。其南部地区仍然有待开发，现在由伦敦Dixon Jones工作室和开发商Parabola共同管理。

除了销售中心，这片占地43英亩的场地上还会有办公场所、公共广场、运动设施、商店、餐厅，以及健康中心。

一旦建成，这座建筑将长50米，高15米，集装箱整体为红色，呼应了旁侧Forth大桥的美学理念，同时呼应场地的工业遗产。

其内部空间应用了“减法”策略，与外部形态形成对比，让参观者感到惊喜。

Located in the west of the city, Edinburgh Park is a business park in the Scottish capital masterplanned by American architect Richard Meier over 20 years ago. The southern quarter remains undeveloped, and is now being overseen by London studio Dixon Jones and developer Parabola.
Alongside the Mach1 marketing suite, the 43-acre site will become host to offices, a public square, sports facilities, shops, restaurants and a health centre.
Once built, Mach1 will be 50 metres long, and 15 metres high. The shipping containers will be painted bright red to echo the aesthetic of the nearby Forth Bridge, and nod to the industrial heritage of the area.
However, the interiors will have a pared-back aesthetic to contrasts its shell and "surprise" visitors.



建筑的中央是通高展览空间，其中有着信息面板、图纸、细部空间、模型，展示了整体规划。

灵活的空间应用了如展厅般墙体与照明设施，呼应了不同的展览需求。建筑二层还有小型咖啡厅、工作空间，和大型会议室。

Mach1项目目前正在规划中，预计明年年初开始施工。同时，爱丁堡公园南部地区的初期规划也在接下来几个星期开始。

Dixon Jones工作室由Jeremy Dixon与Edward Jones于1989年创立，其知名项目有伦敦皇家歌剧院的开发设计，该项目近期由Stanton Williams进行了翻新。

其他的集装箱类似项目由TRS工作室在秘鲁设计的经济适用房、开罗的City of the Dead迷你住宅，以及卡塔尔2022年FIFA世界杯足球场。

At the heart of the building there will be a double-height exhibition space, which will be used to showcase the masterplan through information boards, drawings and an array of detail and scale models.
This flexible space will feature gallery-like walls and lighting that accommodates changing displays. The building will be complete with a small cafe, work spaces and a large meeting room on the second floor.
Mach1 scheme is currently going through planning, with the hope for construction to begin early next year. Meanwhile, work on the first phase of Edinburgh Park's southern quarter is to due to begin in the next few weeks.
Dixon Jones is a London architecture studio founded by Jeremy Dixon and Edward Jones in 1989. It is famed for projects including its redevelopment of London's Royal Opera House in the 1990s, which was more recently overhauled by Stanton Williams.
Other building proposals on Dezeen that make use of shipping containers include TRS Studio's affordable housing in Peru, micro-housing for City of the Dead in Cairo and a football stadium for the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar.
