Upcycling Shipping Containers - Tiny homes, agile housing, and modified container solutions
Let's make stuff out of shipping containers - they're basically big steel Legos!
The idea of upcycling shipping containers is not new (see Christchurch, NZ, Haiti, and pretty much all of Europe), and we're seeing a rise in utilizing containers in a multitude of construction projects and modified container solutions here in the States. From vertical farming, to intelligent beehives, to mobile container bars, to creative coffee shops, to compact modular biomass-to-energy gasification systems, to sustainable living barracks, to affordable housing solutions - the adoption of shipping containers as a sustainable building solution is here and it's rad!
What would you make out of a shipping container?
