INSTRUCTIONS: Your group is to research and produce an image and text base brainstorm on the selected alternative building construction method.

Areas of research may include (but not limited to):

  • History
  • Design and Construction
  • Material Use 
  • Environmental Impact
  • Thermal Mass / Stored Heat Dissipation
  • Passive Heating and Cooling
  • Example buildings
  • Orientation and Site Analysis
  • Waste

Some resources that may be of use to get you started:

2) purchasing a used container without prior inspection - buyer beware, used often means end of viable commercial use
3) not researching local regulations
4) correct choice of insulation - know your climate & how to protect/improve living environment
5) cutting too much steel out during modification process - steel is their structural strength
6) choose the right builder. one that understand spatial constraints/design direction. & if possible experience working with the material]]> 2017-03-28 23:42:28 UTC https://padlet.com/Hensy/jhvu02qg348x/wish/163283703 Advantages of Container Builds. https://padlet.com/Hensy/jhvu02qg348x/wish/163283899 Durability:
Shipping containers are in many ways an ideal building material. They are designed to carry heavy loads and to be stacked in high columns. They are also designed to resist harsh environments, such as on ocean-going vessels.
Transport:
 Pre-fabricated modules can also be easily transported by ship, truck, or rail, because they already conform to standard shipping sizes.
Cost:
Containers are available worldwide and are inexpensive when compared to traditional construction methods (Cont. costs US$1200 - $6000).]]> 2017-03-28 23:44:23 UTC https://padlet.com/Hensy/jhvu02qg348x/wish/163283899 http://www.residentialshippingcontainerprimer.com/action%20it https://padlet.com/Hensy/jhvu02qg348x/wish/163284327 step-by-step process shown.

"[Containers] have been . . . used in variety of ways including hoardings, rockfall protection, storage of goods, facade stabilisation and the construction of buildings."The council has issued 35 consents for commercial premises using containers since February 22, 2011, and four residential consents. Nine applications have been refused."Some applications have not been accepted due to insufficient details showing how compliance with the New Zealand Building Code can be achieved," Sparrow said. https://padlet.com/Hensy/jhvu02qg348x/wish/163284699 2017-03-28 23:53:05 UTC https://padlet.com/Hensy/jhvu02qg348x/wish/163284699
