Interesting! It's not really about the glass cube, but about the shipping process and what that shipping process does to the things it ships. It highlights the brutality and scale well. It's almost like a QA relic put on display. I wonder if there would be other good examples.

It's also -- importantly IMHO -- about the fact that the dimensions of Fedex shipping boxes are proprietary. (Assuming that's actually true. I'm a little skeptical. But that's what the article claims.)

  The project then seems to embody how FedEx treats its own space. It'd be nice to find a megacorp that treats its tools with love.

    I’m not sure what you mean by space or tools. I think someone could see this work as a dig at fedex package handling, but personally think this is a pretty shallow take. For me it is a window into the world of package transportation that few are aware of. this is probably biased by my background, having worked for a megacorp with an entire department dedicated to packaging design and validation. it even included glass fracture experts that could write 100 pages on one of those boxes!
