ARCHI POSTALE WAGON ALGECO Saarinen CIVIDINO
So what does this beautiful Algeco very design and perched on a freight wagon ?
If you look good, it n & rsquo; not strapped, unprotected and a staircase allows even get on the wagon to access this Algeco like to visit him. Nor would carry a more well furnished Algeco !
Is it a demonstration room, a sales office for the equipment installed on the same wagon ? Material that n & rsquo; is nothing short of railway bogies.
And who designed this wonderful little tiny moving object and which evokes many & rsquo; other experiences of the same time as our beloved bubble six shells !
Is this also the & rsquo; opportunity for office container company to promote its new design ?
We admire the taste for furniture with beautiful chairs Knoll Saarinen…
There is a copy here of this kind office container 2002.
Slide n & rsquo; is not titled and I know d & rsquo; where it comes from. Probably a d & rsquo documentation business but this is hypothetical.
What is beautiful in this picture c & rsquo; is the contrast between lightness and whiteness of the & rsquo; office container and wagon so heavy metal which nevertheless gives it mobility possible.
How not to be jubilant to see our six-hull bubble so close to the Tetrodon, s & rsquo; Algeciras 2002, d & rsquo; a house of Pascal Haüsermann or & rsquo; another of Paul Maymont….
I give them to see each with their description seems sometimes imprecise. It s & rsquo; interrogate the editorial decision not to show the houses in photography but much less precise and clear drawing to express scales and details. Note for example how the designer firm berries of all houses yet transparent by a solid black certainly very graphic and beautiful but somewhat enlightening if I & rsquo; daresay. C & rsquo; is certainly that & rsquo; it was difficult to make a photographic report of this set of plastic houses, these being dispersed in the territory. It is assumed that the designer has worked d & rsquo; after documents, thereby equalizing their disparities. We are already 1973 and soon the & rsquo; history will end the & rsquo; epic plastic houses…How can we not rejoice to see our neighbor and bubble six shells of Tetrodon, s & rsquo; Algeciras 2002, d & rsquo; a house of Pascal Haüsermann or & rsquo; another of Paul Maymont….
We are already 1973 and soon the & rsquo; history will end the & rsquo; epic plastic houses…

Special status at the meeting of the & rsquo; AOAD
L & rsquo; last autumn, members of the & rsquo; former Fiat AOAD 130 grew up with an impressive position when they again participated together in the Italian automotive exhibition in Houten. This time, it was decided not to be in the boring room but just outside of Houten in a wooded area. The show found from 1972 funky plastic houses Algeco they had organized for that day. Fans of Fiat 130 turn out to be true purists. The cost or effort was spared. So, the houses were covered with stickers and broken old Fiat with authentic flags. Generally, the cottages have been decorated with vintage chairs and lamps they found on the market. Women and girlfriends visited the state with their own little Fiat or sports.
New and well maintained, the Bulle Algeco 2002 was "brilliant" and totally avant-garde in design. But its technical shortcomings and numerous constraints have not allowed him to drill at Algeco. This product is quickly replaced by the series 3015. Each module is easily buildable, by its gable or side boards, plus some very interesting dimensions : 6.21 m in length, 2.44 m wide and 2.30 height.

Jean-Marie Thomine-Desmazures, Chairman of the Management Board of Algeco SA illuminates 1995 the company's ambitions "Modular and prefabricated buildings have evolved so much that their performance has reached - or exceeded - those concrete buildings and, Furthermore, even their aesthetic has nothing to envy. Today building components allow indeed benefits of all levels, from the cheapest to more upscale, both in exterior cladding in interior equipment.
