If you are considering modular or prefab home, building with recycled shipping containers is worth taking a look at.
Good resource is the Residential Shipping Container Primer website. A SHOWCASE OF SHIPPING CONTAINER HOMES AND BUILDINGDS, AND A DO IT YOURSELF (DIY) REFERENCE FOR CONVERTING RECYCLED INTERMODAL CARGO SHIPPING CONTAINERS INTO BUILDINGS AND? ARCHITECTURE.
Lots of great example buildings, details, facts, and links to other articles...
In spite of warnings, high ranking members of the Haitian gov ignored the alarm bells given to them by seismologists in 2008 [please see the report on the huffingtonpost]
disasters often offer corrupt governments the opportunity to enrich themselves. The U.N. and World Bank should set up a trust fund to manage the money from donations coming to Haiti.
In the meantime shipping containers can be a safe and cost-efficient way of providing long term shelter which in turn could be optimized by converting the same containers used to ship food and donated goods into dwellings.
Sorry Shigeru Ban but paper tubes won't do in this type of climate.
When you see other videos of the ISO's stacked in mostly the US unwanted its then you see the shanty towns in some other countries it is not impossible to see the potential that a charity could achieve shipping unwanted containers.
No matter how basic its more than some could ever achieve with places like schools etc.
hey, can anybody tell me where these things -aren-t- 'piling up' except china? problem is, though, in the USA, it costs about a buck a YARD (meter) to have these moved (due to diesel prices). too bad
