2. 2. INTRODUCTIONShipping container architecture is a form of architectureusing steel
intermodal containers (shipping containers)as structural element, because of their
inherentstrength, wide availability and relatively low cost. MOVIE REF: 1-Shipping

3. 3. BUILDING MATERIALShipping containers are tough - built from weathering
steel.Designed to withstand stacking, stufng and strapping and are reused over and
over.There are estimated 17 - 20 million of these containers scattered around the world
today.Today, as many as 1 million shipping containers may be sitting around unused.The
surplus is especially profound in the United States, northern Europe and China. SHIPPING

4. 4. ADVANTAGES - RAW MATERIAL STRENGTH & DURABILITY An ideal building
material. Designed to carry heavy loads, stacked in high columns, resist harsh
environments - weather and resistant to salt corrosion, etc. MODULAR Made to standard
measurements and provide modular elements that combine into larger structures - This
simplies design, planning and transport Due to the containers modular design additional
construction is as easy as stacking more containers - They can be stacked up to 12 high
when empty. TRANSPORT Pre-fabricated modules can also be easily transported by ship,
truck or rail AVAILABILITY Used shipping containers are easily available across the
globe SHIPPING CONTAINER Project ARCHITECTURE | Research for Proposed Guest

5. 5. ADVANTAGES - CONSTRUCTION LOW STRUCTURAL COST - HIGH STRENGTH
Available at low costs (compared to a nished structure built by labor-intensive means such
as bricks and mortar, which also require larger more expensive foundations) Construction
involves very little labor and requiring only simple modication Can be purchased from
US$1,200 each (used) to US$6000 (new) Shipping containers offer a huge structural
strength for a fraction of the cost of traditional timber steel and concrete constructions
SMALL FOOTPRINT - LARGE LIVING AREA Ideal for multi-story dwellings or ofce
space, offering a large usable area in a small footprint SHORT CONSTRUCTION TIME A
container house can be built, on average, 40% faster than a comparably sized traditional
house UNLIMITED POTENTIAL FOR DIFFICULT SITES Requiring less demanding
foundation preparation Pre-fabricated construction with interlocking modular
compartments SHIPPING CONTAINER Project ARCHITECTURE | Research for Proposed

6. 6. DISADVANTAGES TEMPERATURE Steel conducts heat very well - containers used
for human occupancy will have to be better insulated than most brick, block or wood
structures. LABOUR The welding and cutting of steel is considered to be specialized
costly labour. BUILDING PERMITS Currently not yet widely used for residential
structures - Obtaining building permits may be troublesome in some regions with
municipalities. TREATMENT OF TIMBER FLOORS. Most container oors when
manufactured are treated with insecticides containing Copper (23-25%) Chromium (38-
45%) and Arsenic (30-37%) Before human habitation oors should be removed and safely
disposed of. CARGO SPILLAGES With used containers - spillages or contamination may
have occurred and requiring all internal surfaces should be abrasive blasted to bare metal,
and re- painted with a non toxic paint system. SOLVENTS Solvents released from paint
and sealants used in manufacture might be harmful. SHIPPING CONTAINER Project

14.14. GLOBAL SHIPPING CONTAINERINDUSTRY OVERVIEWThe introduction of the
standard shipping container in the early 60s completely changed freight transportation -
replacing manuallabour with highly automated container vessels, carrying thousands of
standard 40 container, loaded and unloaded at a dazzlingspeed.The rst shipping containers
were manufactured by Japan, Europe, then later Korea, Hong Kong and Taiwan - accounting
for about90% of all shipping container production.Not many years later after the container
was widely used, China geared up to become what it is today, the workshop of the world
-millions of tons of made in china goods nd their way to the West all in standard shipping
containers.China Takes The LeadChina entered into the shipping container manufacturing in
1980.Gaining momentum beginning in 1993 from Chinas low cost of labor and also
becomingthe largest producer and recycler of steel.By 1995 even Taiwan, Hong Kong,
Japan, Korea and most of Europe were producing theirshipping containers in Mainland
China.By 2000 China had become the worlds largest manufacturer of ISO shipping
containers.By 2007 China was producing 82% of the entire world supply of ISO shipping
containers SHIPPING CONTAINER Project ARCHITECTURE | Research for Proposed
15.15. ADAPTIVE REUSEThe greatest interest in ISBU Shipping Containerhomes and
construction are: 1. The need to remove hundreds of thousands of surplus Shipping
Containers sitting in U.S. and other Global ports. 2. The low cost of construction - owning a
small home or apartment seemed to gather much interest, globally.With more goods coming
out of China to theworld than going in and with the rising costs offuel, transporting empty
containers back costsmore than a new one, made in China.By 2005 there were an estimated
700,000 sittingin U.S. ports alone due to the exploding growth MOVIE REF: 3-Adaptive

oors made from 86 shipping containers. The containers were prefabricated in China with
plasterboard walls, electrics and bathrooms already in place before being shipped to the UK.
Stacked and assembled, the containers are simply bolted together and once installed at the
site, windows are tted, the modules are decorated and furnished, and then the exterior of
the building is cladded. Did not require specialized labor and was 40 - 60% faster than
conventional hotel construction, and saving up to 10 weeks of construction time. Costing
only 4.5 million ($6.72 million) comparing to a conventional 100 bed room hotel costing
5 million pounds ($7.47 million) Two different sizes of container were used, creating:
Double rooms which measure 5m x 3m Family rooms which measure 3.5m x 6m
