Nomadic Museum

"Commuters on the PCH near Santa Monica have been privileged to witness the gradual assembly of Gregory Colbert's Nomadic Museum, near the Santa Monica Pier. The temporary museum is composed of 148 empty containers that are stacked in a self-supporting grid. Avant-garde Japanese architect Shigeru Ban designed the 45,000-square-foot space specifically to house Gregory Colbert's travelling photography exhibit, Ashes and Snow. A tentlike fabric fills in the gaps between the containers and serves as the roof."

More info at LAist or at Ashes and Snow.
