Shipping Container Building


a nice container pic from www.shearman.com/enterprise/container.html

Me, Molly, and Jeremy have a dream to build an urban trailer park. We thought about building it out of shipping containers. Then I came across this post in Beyond Brilliance about...an architect who designs buildings made out of shipping containers. It ain't an urban trailer park, but it's nice to be reminded that other people live on the same planet as us, or at least on a nearby planet that we might be able to visit someday.
