only in dtrm because i couldn't think of a better home but as always if a mod wants to find it a nicer place to live be my guest container city
 basically, converted shipping containers for use as buildings, temporary or indefinite they say
 Containers are an extremely flexible method of construction, being both modular in shape, extremely strong structurally and readily available. Container Cities offer an alternative solution to traditional space provision. They are ideal for office and workspace, live-work and key-worker housing.
Container Cities do not even have to look like containers! It is a relatively simple matter to completely clad a building externally in a huge variety of materials.
Finally the benefits of Container Cities can truly be seen in short and medium term land use projects. Short-life sites can have Container Cities that simply unbolt and can be relocated or stored when land is required for alternative uses. To date this alternative method of construction has successfully created youth centres, classrooms, office space, artists studios, live / work space, a nursery and retail space.
do you think things like the container city (small, cheap and compact convertible "houses" arranged much like moshe safdie's habitat and nakagin capsule tower/inspired by works like the inntel hotel, the axis viana hotel and the tubo hotel are a way to solve growing housing crises while also being environmentally conscious?
would you live in a container city? what makes it different from living in an apartment for you?

Looks nice on the inside but can you imagin how hot it will be inside? Plus the outside looks kinda trashy. I prefer my house thank you.

they should just crush the old container boxes and dump them in the landfill.
