Category: Architecture
Los Angeles: Shipping containers are finding new life as elements in building construction. This New York Times article is particularly inspiring.

this is sooo cool. I have long had a dream to build an urban trailer park out of shipping containers. This chick is making things happen, things that I dig very much.

I have seen field military bases made out of these in Kosovo. There are different functional modules (dorm, single room, toilet, storage, corridor) and they out them together like a set of giant Lego bricks.

We have developed a series of attractive modernist / minimalist homes using selected high quality shipping containers.
The designs offered can be varied to accommodate individual tastes.

I need a set of plans or fabrication cut sheet for a 20' and 40'shipping container. My municipality requires a permit to set up permanent storage.
