| | Summary: |
| | The paper presents the possibilities of using old shipping containers for the construction of multi-storey apartment buildings. Instead of accumulating large amounts of waste materials for recycling, and polluting the air during the recycling process, containers can be used as modular units in a cellular system. Housing units can be formed by combining two or more shipping containers or by using only one larger container for apartments for singles. Such buildings represent an economical solution of providing the housing space. They are also suitable for student housing and accommodation for refugees. These types of buildings are fully compatible with modern trends of sustainable architecture and the construction process is faster than the conventional one. |
