Abstract
The article informs about the Nomadic Museum, which is now located on Pier 54 in New York City. This museum has transformed shipping crates, recycled cardboard tubing and a handmade fabric curtain made of one million pressed paper tea bags from Sri Lanka into a one-of-a-kind structure that not only utilizes these materials but has transformed them into a creative architectural style while incorporating sustainable practices. The museum, the first of its kind in the world, was designed by Principal Architect Shigeru Ban of Tokyo and Associate Architect Dean Maltz of New York. The outside of the Nomadic Museum is made up of 148 used steel cargo containers, stacked and secured to a height of 34 feet for the walls and a roof peak of 56 feet. Work began on the structure in September 2004. Construction on the pier and container erection began in January 2005 and was completed in February 2005. Work could not continue during periods of high winds as the shipping crates would be blown away once hoisted for placement.
