Alternative construction methods can be more affordable and still look exceedingly desirable while without a dramatic shift in user experience. Most container projects in Nigeria are in the major cities like Lagos and Abuja. At the time of construction, this was one of the first container projects in Benin city. 1 Like

Most building construction projects in Nigeria are made of concrete and hollow-blocks. While there is a rise in the adoption of shipping containers as an alternative construction method, cargotecture is not a silver bullet for the infrastructure deficit in Nigeria, but it sets the tone on the desirability of alternative construction methods. 1 Like

The UBTH COOP has always done it’s things differently, their other business ventures have one of the most sophisticated processes and adoption of technology in Nigeria. Just like their brand, we wanted the building to stand out, and make an impression. Something different but accepted.

In our 3D parametric design for the cladding, the panels had differing projections to give a slightly uneven shape, and the materials used are a mixture of reflective grey glass and aluminum composite panels of mirror and silver.

In all, 12 units of 40ft high-cube shipping containers were used for the project. We have used shipping containers for various projects, and clients have adopted it for various purposes. In this case, it solved a cost problem and it was faster to erect, so the UBTH COOP could quickly earn a return on investment on the facility. 1 Like

Called the ‘Digital Center’. Designed and constructed by Kontekture for UBTH staff cooperative society. It is a two-floor container building. The upper floor is a hall and event space, while the ground floor is a digital store. 1 Like

It is built with a framework of containers and steel, finished with exceptionally patterned Stucco on the outside walls and POP walls on the inside. Its interiors are cooler than in traditional homes, we have provided double electrical insulation, and the house is totally leak proof. This visualization is how its construction will be staged 1 Like

We started our container project on this thread sometime last year. https://www.nairaland.com/4030441/shipping-container-housing-nigeria-project A lot of people asked how it'd look when completed. Now it's ready and our client has moved in this year, here is what it looks like now in the before/after images below. There is a full TV interview coming out on it soon with our client taking you through all the rooms. I'd post on that soon. You should build a container house too, the value is indescribable. 2 Likes

It's the chicken and egg issue. It is true we have few creative professionals who make value engineering so interesting, but the Nigerian market itself is too constrained and doesn't tolerate innovation except it is foreign. We can do this in Nigeria, but it is one thing to create and another thing to have your creation acceptable. Impenia: 2 Likes |

One of the reasons they used shipping containers for this stadium is because there are many unused shipping containers in that part of Qatar. Necessity is the mother of invention, and since construction is cheaper when it is vernacular, we should embrace more container architecture here in Nigeria. Shipping container architecture has many applications and it is interesting to see it used for such events as the world cup. Shipping container housing is gradually taking shape in Nigeria, it is cheaper and has many design variations. 1 Like |

In a statement, the chairman of the committee’s technical delivery office Hilal Jeham Al Kuwari said: “The launch of Ras Abu Aboud Stadium’s design comes three months after the design launch of Al Thumama Stadium and six months after the inauguration of Khalifa International Stadium following its renovation. “This succession of positive announcements highlights the continued progress being made on all World Cup projects, which have not been impacted by the illegal blockade on the state of Qatar. All of our projects are progressing per schedule and will be delivered by their target completion dates.” http://kontekture.com/qatar-unveil-movable-40000-seat-stadium-2022-world-cup/ 1 Like |

In a statement, senior partner Mark Fenwick said: “We are delighted to be part of another 2022 FIFA World Cup project and are very proud that our design for Ras Abu Aboud Stadium will go down in history as the first-ever moveable and reusable World Cup stadium. “We are confident that this innovative and sustainable concept will be an inspiration for stadium developers and architects around the world, capable of creating aesthetically pleasing venues that offer new legacy possibilities.” Located in an industrial district on Doha’s waterfront – a part of the Qatari capital where shipping containers are plentiful – the stadium is scheduled for completion in 2020. This design announcement is the second to have come since several of Qatar’s neighbours cut off diplomatic ties and imposed trade and travel sanctions on the small but wealthy country in June – a move that raised doubts about its ability to complete the enormous construction project it has embarked on for the World Cup. Qatar 2022’s organising committee, however, has repeatedly dismissed these concerns and has pushed on with the work, despite a significant rise in costs. http://kontekture.com/qatar-unveil-movable-40000-seat-stadium-2022-world-cup/ 1 Like

The Gulf’s diplomatic crisis is not hurting Qatar 2022’s preparations, a senior Qatari official has claimed as the organising committee revealed the design for the first demountable World Cupstadium. The Ras Abu Aboud Stadium is the seventh of eight World Cup venue designs to be announced and the 40,000-seat ground will host games up to the quarter-final stage. However, it is what might happen after the World Cup that is the most interesting aspect of this stadium as it can be taken down and reassembled elsewhere or even turned into smaller venues. The design, which uses modified shipping containers as “modular building blocks”, has been drawn up by Fenwick Iribarren Architects, the Madrid-based firm behind Norway’s new National Stadium and another 2022 World Cup venue, the Qatar Foundation Stadium. 1 Like

After so much delays due to rainfall and its effect on the access road, the weather forecast gave us the all-clear to make preparations for the 50-ton crane and container trucks to deliver the remaining 4 containers for the 1st floors of the twin duplex. Now all is set, all the containers required for the project are in position. The structural work, mechanical and electrical for the ground floor have been completed. There would be some fast-tracking on the 1st floor so we can still achieve our project completion in October.
