Before we were designing buildings and houses and remodels, before we went to architecture school, engineering school and the school of hard knocks, we were busy cutting our teeth on the basic building blocks of the design world. Along with couch cushion architecture, it was cardboard fort architecture that helped us figure out the ABCs of design and construction. Cardboard fort architecture remains an underdog of the design world and its high-time we gave kudos to the fundamental DNA that helped us get where we are today. We’ve rounded up a (mostly) admirable collection of projects, taken from a randomly conducted search on the internet. Join us as we take a critical analysis of the architecture, methods and design philosophies of discarded appliance box re-appropriation.
A deliberate and masterful work which presents its inner beauty as a pleasant surprise. A hidden panel of the seemingly banal façade conceals a pivot door at which point the viewer is introduced to a world of color and imagery. The exterior envelope uses attenuated connections and subtle graphics to keep the overall composition inconspicuous. Grade: B+
enjoy
