Urban Options: Group 41 Offers Free Custom Container Architecture
Container architecture is a way of up-cycling one of the waste products of international shipping. Over 7 million shipping containers enter U.S. ports each year, and only 2 million leave. A reflection of imbalanced international trade, the result is an excess of containers, dotting the landscape across the country. In the spirit of resourcefulness, however, that is changing as shipping containers are becoming inexpensive or less-expensive green alternatives to standard construction.
