Kind of in a 'I'll show you mine if you show me yours' kind of way. Since there's such a myriad of decidedly different container solutions out there, we'll at least try to find a few mutual ideas, concepts or functions and see what's out there. Not to scare our TUC competitors away – quite the opposite, to encourage them to see te potential in the humble container.

The easiest way to transform the –

It doesn’t matter if you’re not a fan of sports cars and racing, you’ve probably heard about the famous Ferrari. More than five years ago due to its great popularity, Ferrari decided to develop indoor theme park called Ferrari World in Abu Dhabi. Its size is impressive, but this is not the only thing that is unique about this park.

Apart from being the largest indoor theme park and housing the fastest roller coaster in the world, it is also the largest standing seam pre-coated aluminium roof in the world.
Roof designed by Benoy architects is highly insulated and the main façades utilise efficient glass to reduce thermal loads and glare. The roof only is over 200.000m2 with almost 7 kilometres of guttering; whereas the total
