That said, given that the type is identified with – and even emblematic of – sustainability as a system of values, the shipping container aesthetic can be seen from that perspective as a strongly positive attribute.
In order for shipping container architecture to be a viable alternative in any given application the first consideration is aesthetics since, obviously, the rough and tumble outward appearance of the building type is not for everyone. Fundamental considerations include aesthetics, the advantages of this construction type, and the challenges to be overcome if the form is to be viable as an alternative to conventional construction. Given that there has been a sustained interest in the type, particularly in green building design circles, an objective appraisal seems appropriate. Shipping container architecture is a construction type which uses steel intermodal containers (shipping containers) as the building’s primary structure.
