A transitional piece added to several standard containers -borrowed from the shipping industry- allows its association and a more flexible architectural performance. It generates wider and higher interior spaces that are now able to get natural light and ventilation; after the earthquake, these containers are seen as fast-assembly, recyclable ready-mades capable of become emergency infrastructure.

Palabras clave : architecture-Chile; prefabrication; containers; metallic architecture; emergency pavilions; steel.
