Shipping Containers
Adaptive reuse and architectural design of shipping containers for residential, commercial, and experimental spaces.
Container City
A modular lifestyle, a modular housing design challenge
As a result of the scarcity of land and the increase in construction costs in today's cities, people sought alternative solutions. One of these solutions is containers that offer ease of use with their modular structure. Containers have emerged as a solution to the growth and development needs of cities. It played on important role in the formatio
Wow! Excellent project.
Vertical Village
XXX
Really solid work with a good developed details.
Congratulations
Very suitable design for industrial (+heritage) zones of cities.
ZIPPER HOUSE
The project is entry for container city competi was conceptualized around the thought of someone unzipping their coat and revealing a surprising shirt. Likewise, the Zipper House appears as two interlocking housing blocks pulled apart to reveal a vibrant multi-story courtyard for everyday student use and gatherings.
Great job! Innovative use of spaces.
FLEXIBLE MODULARITY
Addressing San Francisco's housing crisis by proposing 22 modular studio units of student housing constructed with container
MOBILE TREEHOUSE
Student accommodation laid out on a structural grid using 15 shipping containers. Designed for city coastal living for students who have an interest in water pobut can be defined in a denser, urban landscape.
CO_TAINER LIVING
A community of student container living that encourage student's talents to spark with open and creative event spaces.

A step towards a new era of housing typologies
this one hits different
Wow, incredible!
Nice
GeCon
This project has employed generative design method to generate thousands of alternatives for the dormitory building in a short time and to take advantage of computational design methods to approach the most efficient way to organize the container modules for the purpose of enhancing thquality of life on the basis of maximum area and received direct sunlight.
Great work 👍
Great!

WARTA CAMP - container student housing
The problem of waste is a global issue, which every country in the world is facing. Nowadays people finally start to notice it and find multiple ways of reusing everyday objects. However, we are still producing more waste than we are creatively reusing – it is still an underestimated design area and it is our duty, as designers of many disciplines, to raise
Clean an well developed solutions.
Hi, I have some questions about the competition. 1- Can we use metric ? 2- Do we need a specific site for the project?
1. Yes you can use metric units - Its rather preferred 2. No you dont have to, it can be based on something hypothetical entirely.
hi, Registration via pay pal is not possible from here. Can we use credit card for the payment of the fee?
Hi Ulku, Please use Razorpay.
hello, I want to say that I am enormously disappointed, to see that the members of the jury do not take account of the constraints announced on the contests, it is thus the last time that I would participate in a contest on this site. to argue my point, I would take container city as an example with a constraint: 1- 15 sea containers maximum, while on the selected projects, there were entire cities with container 2-additions and extension limited to 15%, while on the selected projects some have largely exceeded this limit. 3- 4 containers cannot be stacked on top of each other. some have built towers. So if you do not take into account the constraints announced and you prefer to privilege the presentation instead of the design, and the respect of the specifications, no longer offer constraints if they are of no use. many were sanctioned because they applied themselves to meet the specifications that you posted online. thank you for taking these remarks into account.
Dear Ahmed, We understand the emotion behind the feedback. Its very unfortunate to know that you had a bad experience with our website and we want to know how can we do better. To make our position clear, projects in the shortlist do not have any connection to our website nor the creators have been endorsed with any special advantages. Every participating team is as real and has put in honest work like you must've too. Particularly in the context of Container city, we were well aware this scenario may arise due to some special conditions in the brief. While we try as much as possible to ensure there is fair judging in the competition, for the first time we tried to open the scrutiny via a peer review system as well to ensure all the feedback like the ones you shared are also taken into account while making review process and not after the results are out. https://uni.xyz/journal/new-update-appeal-period-desc-changes-to This was emailed specifically to every participant entering into the competition to voice out if a project was out or in. We have mostly taken all the appeals in to consideration and found out many of them were true. A few of them were forced too. If a project appealed against was still considered, we have left comment below the project on how and why the project made it. Despite all of this effort, it sometimes is disheartening to know that it has left a feeling of bitterness within a valued member of our community. If you have any particular feedback or a project to report you can write to the competition control directly here: competitioncontrol@uni.xyz .
hello and thank you for having taken my words into account, I would like to point out that I have never questioned the method of running the competitions, I only emphasized the objectivity of the members of the jury who should first of all base their judgment as a priority on the application of the specifications then check the other points (presentation ...)the jury also had to pay attention to the openings (windows and bay windows) because the container is fragile, it cannot be pierced on very large openings as it weakens it and makes the superposition of the containers on top of each other fragile. we are not on design only, there is a very important technical aspect as well. best regards ahmed
