Shipping Container Design

Design has come a very long way, and people are coming up with more innovative and cost effective/efficient ways to create livable and functional spaces. The new growing trend is creating spaces out of actual shipping containers. Seen mainly for retail and street vendor businesses, shipping container design has now begun to be used in hospitality as well. Almost resembling lego's, you can stack them, align them and do almost whatever you want with them. This design trend might not be for everyone but I think it's pretty cool. Below are some images I found for inspiration since my final project for my studio 3 project is mainly using shipping containers. It's something a lot of people haven't seen before and I think people should look into it.
