Shipping Container Architecture Research!


Architecture made from the ready made object is a unusual thought, as When you think about architecture you think of a house being put together using wood or steel. The shipping container is a very easy to find object which is used a lot in architecture more now then before. The shipping containers in a used state are a cheap and affordable way to create space without having to make a wooden frame. The way containers are used in architecture varies, Court yard space or interior spaces. The image above looks to be a very modern structure that incluedes more materials then just containers which gives the container focus in certain areas were they are used. For example in the image above they have cut out the end of the containers and inserted a large window which adds a focal point.

I love the shipping container architecture as it gives a old container a new home in terms of were it will be for a long length of time.
