modular modernist... say what? There is growing interest in the use of
shipping containers as the basis for habitable structures. These "icons of
globalization" are relatively inexpensive structurally sound and in abundant supply. Although in raw form
containers are dark windowless boxes (which might place them at odds with some of the tenets of modernist
design...) they can be highly customizable
modular elements of a larger structure. The projects below are sorted alphabetically (by company or
designer's name). In addition to the
container-based projects listed below we offer links to useful web sites and relevant books. Selected projects utilizing
shipping containers. Info credits: Zack Smith Kevin Tze King Ho. Architects
