11.Jun.2010 C2C Ships to Haiti!

by Jay Cox-Chapman, Design Build Assistant

The staff of Containers to Clinics, the organization that engaged Stack to build a clinic out of two 20′ shipping containers, sent us these photos from Red Hook, Brooklyn, of the clinic getting loaded onto a cargo ship bound for Port-au-Prince.

The ISO containers fit in happily alongside their more utilitarian neighbors on the ship, a key part of Stack’s adaptibility-driven design.

The cranes that move containers onto ships are fully controlled by GPS; the operator only controls the speed

The cranes that load the containers are controlled by highly precise GPS; the operator only varies the speed.

    Carlos – Stack developed a custom parametric Revit family for this project. Unfortunately for IP reasons this is not something that we can share. TurboSquid has some basis but decent families that you could use as a starting point. Hope this helps. -Joshua Brandt, Principal
