Indonesian architect firm dpavilion has converted a few shipping containers into a colorful piece of architecture called the Contertainer, consisting of a polyclinic and a library.
The Contertainer title, a combination of the words "container" and an "entertainer," is definitely a creative one that aptly describes the building. This architectural construct is a public place which offers absolutely free services and facilities to the public. Contertainer's goal is to provide a better quality of living to the economy classes of Indonesia.
