Next Post

Alright, so I know I haven't really been updating on how the research has been going lately, but there's light on the horizon.  My next post will be a rough draft of my Abstract Outline, our final project in this course.  The Abstract Outline is basically a summary of my Research Proposal that will be read by my mentor (I have yet to determine who it is, but it must be one of the ARET faculty), and they will decide whether or not it is acceptable, or if I need to work on it more.  A couple main points about it is that it will include my thesis question and, later on, an original graphic.

My plan for the graphic is to design an actual shipping container house in Revit (hopefully on Sunday or Monday), and post it with/shortly after my Research Abstract.

    Hey Paul, I came across a Video by PEDC Structures last night, and can be found here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VM1k1GBbaIQ

    They have some interesting ideas on the applications of shipping containers and may be worth looking into. Hope it helps!

    As for designing the shipping container house, is it going to be just the interior you design, along with windows and door placements? I think you could come up with some really cool layouts within the container. Definitely a more open design I could see as working best.

    If you've got the time (and inspiration to do so, haha) I would suggest maybe doing a few different interior layouts.

      I'll do my best, but with everything coming to a close, as of right now I can only see myself doing 1 layout. Maybe after exams are done, i'll do a couple more over the summer though

    Hi Paul. There's a temporary art gallery that is made out of shipping containers in Norway. I thought it was pretty cool. This link shows the floor plans, elevations, and images of the outcome: http://www.designboom.com/architecture/mmw-architects-shipping-container-art-gallery/
