John Habraken (Architect) was asked by Alfred Heineken to create a beer bottle that could perform as an architectural building block as a secondary use in developing countries. it's estimated that 1,000 bottles could construct a 3x3 metre structure. A great idea but one which Habraken doesn't see a future for. He thinks that we may end up drinking beer from plastic containers as well as the aluminium ones we use now.
