".... in the sense conceptual and real, the container is the idea of \u200b\u200bimpermanence of the object and the inherent impossibility of its rootedness in place "
ARCHITECTURE IN MOTION
"Architecture in the movement to which the title refers is that, a trend that began to take shape, especially in the last decade, uses as a basic element of the project the container, forcing it to a different use, a different purposes of artistic or housing, often freeing them from fruitless waiting-on wharfs neatly stacked to form tall columns, to be launched in the farthest destination in the world .[...]

Sizes: Containers as external standard in 2 sizes (at Imperial) Which are 40 foot by 8 foot (12 mx 2.4 m) or 20 foot by 8 foot. (6 x 2.4m)
Height : Standard height is 8 foot (2.4m), although “hicubes” are available which are 9.5 feet high (2.9m).
Construction: They are made of “corten” steel and thus are resistant to rust. The steel panels (walls and roof) are all 2 mm thick.
Spaces: The main thing we have done is to combine containers by stacking them and taking out their internal walls, so that a range of spaces are created – all based around 16, 24 or 32 foot wide rooms – whose lengths can be varied up to 40 feet.
Services: Water, drainage and power are all required at the site. Services such as power and drainage can be run either internally or externally. We recommend that electricity is used for heating. Heating costs are generally low as they are so well insulated.
