Architecture studio Dixon Jones and sculptor David Mach have collaborated on a proposal for an event space and marketing suite in Edinburgh, which will be made from a stack of bright red shipping containers.
Named Mach1, the sculptural building will be located in an undeveloped section of the Edinburgh Park business district to showcase Dixon Jones' masterplan for the site.
Comprising of 36 shipping containers it will be British sculptor Mach's first building. He has designed the stack of red containers to look like a giant heap of rocks that he recalled from visits to the Fife coastline as a child.

"We have been working closely with David to realise his creation, a mix of sculpture and architecture," said Chris Milan, associate director at Dixon Jones. "The structure is intended to be an eye catching and engaging piece of art, as well as a functional building," he told Dezeen. "We love the way it never seems to sit still ? the way it looks so different from every angle."

Located in the west of the city, Edinburgh Park is a business park in the Scottish capital masterplanned by American architect Richard Meier over 20 years ago. The southern quarter remains undeveloped, and is now being overseen by London studio Dixon Jones and developer Parabola.
Alongside the Mach1 marketing suite, the 43-acre site will become host to offices, a public square, sports facilities, shops, restaurants and a health centre.
