As some of you know, I am pretty fascinated with teh things you can do with shipping containers. I myself have one that is used for storage. I would love to mae a minimalist cabine with a few somewhere in the woods. Perhaps a combination cob house shipping container house… Anyway, last week's NYT ran a story about some highly designed shipping container structures

Mr. Kalkin has used the container as a centerpiece in a broad spectrum of projects that include affordable housing, refugee shelters, performance pieces, movies and Web sites.

The featured piece is concept and art, nothing practical, but some other workls of the architect, Adam Kalkin, include a community center in Russia, refugee housing designs and private residences–all made with shipping containers.

Reuse, Reduce, Recycle!
