Containers for charity campaigns: Alzola and Athletic
The collaboration between Aurtenetxea Containers, Agua Alzola and Athletic used containers for charity campaigns to support a blood donation initiative. Red and white modules brought the campaign’s message into a public space in Bilbao.
The installation combines horizontal volumes with a container standing vertically. Bottle graphics, drops and a lion symbol connect the campaign identity with the shapes of the modules.
Customizable
The options are many as long as the habitability, watertightness and insulation standards are met. Both inside and outside you can paint, line wood, cladding, panels, etc.
Low prices
We are reusing a maritime container to adapt it to our needs, a transformation system that is already very present in countries such as Japan, the Netherlands or England and that allows us to offer anti-crisis prices, high qualities and short delivery times.
The containers we use are perfectly standardized, the most common being 10, 20 and 40 feet.
Each container is different, but similar in its resistant characteristics that make them suitable for transport.
The floor of the containers is in solidarity with the outer frame and the steel pillars. They are originally watertight and waterproof. They can be joined together by rigid or mechanical joints, and are stackable up to 5-6 heights depending on the load and use.
Energy saving
Factors such as sun protection, temperature, exposure environment and energy efficiency must be considered. There are systems that allow you to have a sustainable container and save energy depending on the use: recyclable materials, low environmental impact, high energy efficiency carpentry, energy saving installations using solar panels connected to underfloor heating, etc.
Versatility
Depending on the needs, they could be adapted to:
- Temporary or stable residence of one, two, three rooms or more.
- Office modules.
- Temporary businesses: kiosks, security posts, tourist office, stands, etc.
- Modules or annexes to the houses: tools houses in the garden, guest house or room modules.
- Bungalows located in camping.
Containers for charity campaigns in public space
The composition makes use of different container orientations. The upright piece presents a large bottle graphic, while the lower modules position messages beside the pedestrian route. Red and white tie the installation together from several viewpoints.
A shared message from Alzola and Athletic
The graphics include Spanish and Basque messages and the identities of the participating organisations. A long side opening in one module reveals a graphic backdrop with the lion and campaign slogan. The containers act as communication elements within the initiative.
Photographs record the installation from different angles and show its relationship with the urban setting. They document the collaboration and its physical presentation.
An installation for your initiative
This project illustrates the container’s use as a three-dimensional advertising format and a platform for a shared cause. To discuss a similar installation, tell us the message, location and proposed dates. You can also explore the La Salve container branding as an example of identity applied to an exterior steel surface.
