Design Ideas Progress


So I am trying to move away from the idea of the container and more to the idea of the module. As when discussing my design people seem to lock onto the idea of the container and not the essence behind the idea. This is idea is about using an already established infrastructure to allow the transportation of housing. The only reference to the actual shipping container is the sizes and the lock joints on the corners to connect the housing modules to other containers for transportation.

The container size module allows flexibility as well as diversity in forms, as demonstrated in this diagram of possible organizations of housing forms, consisting of a floating foundation and a housing module.
