Thinking outside the box

neildesi

Does anyone know any interesting development involving big box stores? Perhaps integrated residential, or the use of green roofs?

Check out Peter Busby's Proposal for a Walmart in Vancouver,BC. mega big box with green roof et al.

Look at the BEST stores from the 80s the execs were very interested in green design.
Check out Green Architecture there's actually quite a few examples of that series in there.

Fusion of big box/suburban houses. Speculative but definitely worth a look.

build on top of the big box. a whole fucking city, in fact.
i'd live on top of a big box.
that way i could stop at wal-mart every morning for a hot dog or two.

full assimilation would require more than a couple daily hot dogs.

perhaps taking up residence in wal-mart's hvac.
