The Box - Architectural Solutions with Containers
Product ID: 8376941
Shipping containers are the most conspicuous symbol of the globalized world economy – 20 or 40 feet of pure steel reduced to the essentials. They are robust, standardized, inexpensive, universally available, and quickly assembled. Whether as single units, piled on top of each other, or placed in a row, covered or cut open – contemporary architecture uses containers as extremely versatile elements for a great variety of contexts. Their esthetic of practicality accommodates minimalistic temporary solutions, experimental design concepts, as well as highly demanding and complex building structures. The contemporary projects presented in this volume showcase the many functional and creative faces of the utilization of containers. Almost everything seems possible in the developing field of container architecture. Review: Nice overview of container structures. - Great photos and these include the plans. Some of them can be found online, but you can save yourself a lot of time with this collection in one place. Review: Great book on Pre Fab Homes - Great book on Pre Fab Homes

Ripped from pinterest
This is mere pics that you've already seen 1,000 times on Pinterest. And there's no information. It's a coffee table book and it's not focused on container HOMES. It's more a gallery of whacky one-of-a-kind actectural structures around the world. Not much in the way of practical application, no floor plans, no articles, no product information. It's a coffee table book to start the conversation about how these containers can be structures, but not very convincing that they can be HOMES.
