I totally agree, I’m rather tired of the old container thing now, would be inspiring if someone actually did something different with it.

chiaro scuro… they ARE made within an inch of their lives. Their lives as a shipping container, which (having grown up around and worked in Long Beach harbor, I’ve witnessed) is incredibly rough and tumble. They are made to withstand falling off a cargo ship, and in some cases, even float. The demands of say, building a single family home of 1 or 2 levels, is nothing compared to being stacked 15 containers high, then rolling in stormy seas over the pacific.
How many single family homes have you seen constructed out of solely tubular steel members? come on!

I had an Industrial design professor tell me that these containers are made within an inch of their lives. What do you think happens when you cut into something and remove from that something when the original product is made from the bare minimum?

The idea is not new, but interesting. At the post-Soviet space, the container structure is relevant for a long time…
Re incarnation containers :) I like it.

I really dont understand the obsession some architects have for building with shipping containers?! The containers needs so much work done to them before they get usable for containing humans, that all the “sustainability” is far gone by the time they are finished with them.
