Check out this city built entirely out of shipping containers outside of Mexico City. In the addition to housing he city consists of restaurants, bars, shops, art galleries, and an open public area with ping pong tables. There are similar projects in London and a development going up in New York on Lafayette Street.

This is really great!! Interesting. They should think about implementing in Haiti. Great relief source.
I would love to be there
I found this Container building in Berlin (Germany) some months ago.

Container buildings are a fascinating part of modern architecture.
Maybe even of future Architecture.
in particular in times of “green movement”
