Dumpsters into Swimming Pools in Brooklyn |The Daily Dish | By Andrew Sullivan

I read about this in the NYTimes a few weeks ago.  Adaptive reuse of dumpsters, apparently as part of a larger  scheme that would reactivate aged and obsolete shopping centers (and their parking lots) in Georgia.  Brooklyn is the perfect test-market for this, Cabinet Magazine recently had a party there and of course it has been blasted all other the culture and design blogs (so I hear).  I am looking to have one installed under the BQE in Fort Greene/Clinton Hill - night swimming in shadow with the shwoooshing of highway traffic overhead - dreamy.
