Summary[edit]

Description
English: J. Habraken. World Bottle, 1962

Collectie NAI, VOOV 195
Biermagnaat Freddy Heineken komt op het idee tijdens een reis door de Caraïben. Hij wil lege bierflesjes als bouwmateriaal gebruiken om zo de kwaliteit van krottenwijken te verbeteren. Op zijn verzoek maakt architect John Habraken in 1962 deze stapelbare flessen. Het blijft bij een prototype: critici stellen dat de World Bottle kan aanzetten tot overmatig drankgebruik, en de bierproducent vreest voor het imago van zijn bedrijf. Toch staan deze flesjes symbool voor de verbetering van de wereld door middel van architectuur.

NAI Collection, VOOV 195
The beer magnate Freddy Heineken came up with this idea during a journey around the Caribbean. He wanted to use empty beer bottles as a construction material in order to improve the quality of slums. He asked the architect John Habraken to draw up these stackable bottles in 1962. It failed to proceed beyond a prototype: critics argued that the World Bottle could encourage excessive drinking, and the brewer feared for his enterprise’s image. These bottles are nevertheless a symbol for the improvement of the world through architecture.
