containers in use...

Here are several uses for the container that I have come across over the last few weeks:

http://www.inhabitat.com/2009/06/26/froebe-gold-plated-shipping-container-bling-bar The container is used as a cafe/bar for use in public areas. I like the sense of mystery created by this design as from the outside it is unclear as to it purpose.

http://www.bbspy.co.uk/news/new-official-house-pics-revealed.html The Big Brother house 2009 uses a shipping container as a space for the bathroom.

http://www.containerart.org/eng/ A website detailing shipping containers used as art installations that travel between cities.

I am slightly disappointed that I only discovered this use for the container whilst reading a book called 'Space Craft 2', as I think that having had access to this project earlier my have influenced the scope of my design.
