Container City explores how modular architecture and repurposed shipping containers can address contemporary urban challenges. This approach combines structural efficiency with flexibility, enabling rapid deployment and adaptation to changing urban needs.

The community examines modular city concepts, floating urban systems, instant city frameworks, and container-based skyscrapers. Projects range from sustainable renewal strategies in established cities to entirely new modular urban typologies designed for resilience and scalability.

Futuristic Floating Residents

Sea level rising in coastal cities have a negative impact on the lives of residents. Findings support the argument that traditional land reclamation methods are not a practical long term solution apart from its various disadvantages on the ecosystem.Our approach to solve this problem was to adapt to environment and use floating structure against SLR impacts.

AFLOATOPOLIS

The "Afloatopolis" aims to create a new urban cross-section alternative between water and land for every city that is affected by global climate change and will disappear by sinking. The "Afloatopolis" is a project in which an architectural existence is emphasized again, but in doing so, it is reinterpreted without losing the public values.

CUBE(ish)

People are in a rush between their home and workplaces. They sometimes miss the opportunity to pause, look around and feel good. At this point in-between spaces (between home and workplace) in cities draw attention. Our concept is an in-between space which creates an escape point from daily rush.

Hexagon City

Hexagon City challenges the norm by using materials at hand at the building side, by making optimal use of the land and by applying low-tech solutions to supply the city with durable energy, water, shade and cooling.Although it can be added we do not prefer high-tech solutions for their need of scarce raw materials.

The main idea of the project is binary system. The concept is based on the structure of binary code. There are only 0 and 1: 1 - filled structure (residential), 0 - void structure (non-residential). Thanks to the use of the algorithm, the concept uses combinations of modules that form a competent structure of the complex.
