Tétrodon

Tétrodon, named after the boxfish, is a concept for a mobile habitat based on a transport container. Architects Jacques Berce and Henri Ciriani enhance the container's basic volume by adding functional modules in the form of double-shelled polyester structures insulated with polyurethane foam. These shells, attached to the container's metal beams and columns, serve specific functions, including sleeping, dining, cooking, and sanitation. The central area remains open, linking the serviced spaces of the shells with the serving space of the container. This design reflects the functional principles redefined by Louis Kahn during that era.
