Description
Container and Modular Buildings Construction and Design Manual by Cornelia Dörries and Sarah Zahradnik presents innovative solutions for affordable and dignified housing. In response to the pressing issue of providing shelter for displaced persons, this comprehensive guide showcases unconventional designs and constructions that challenge existing standards in serial housing. The book explores a range of structures, from playful follies to life-saving shelters, and offers ideas on how to create more than just assembled containers. With articles on design principles and photographs, plans, and text, it provides a response to social problems and space shortages. Divided into three sections according to the form of the structures, this manual covers everything from cuboid buildings to custom units, offering a fresh perspective on serial housing and its possibilities.
