As there are many uses for shipping containers and many variations of Green Building we wanted to provide an outlet where additional material could be made readily available.

Container architecture and shipping container housing are likely to gain traction in the near future as more developers, planners and consumers start to see the benefits and savings of using them as construction building blocks. As interest develops, so too will the available books and educational materials on the subject of shipping containers.

While the uses for shipping containers are many and varied, if your interest is specifically in shipping container homes and construction using cargo containers, a great starting point is Intermodal Shipping Containers for Use as Steel Buildings by Paul Sawyers. This book lays out in plain language the basics of selecting a container and the steps you will go through converting containers into steel buildings. Because containers are a unique building block, there are certain things any prospective owner or developer should be aware of, and Paul’s book covers them. While Intermodal Shipping Containers for use as Steel Buildings is a good overview, more specific texts might be a good idea for individual issues.
