Vertical roller mill used in shipping industry
Built from weathering steel, LUM Ultrafine Vertical Roller Mill these building blocks of international trade are designed to withstand stacking, stuffing and strapping and are reused over and over, There are roughly 17 million of these containers floating, riding and flying around the world today, but the recent sustainable design trend has found these containers re-purposed to carry a more fragile cargo — humans

Eight feet tall, eight feet wide and either 500tph-600tph Stone Crusher Plant feet long, the containers don’t contain much space, but architects and building designers on the next page don’t exactly build within the box, so hit the jump and size up 10 great shipping container homes
,
Stacked vertically on four different floors, Belgian architects Pieter Peelings and Silvia Mertens of Sculp(IT) have created a compact home for streamlined living, Each of the four small rooms serves a specific function in this shipping container home, From the bottom up, a spiral staircase links a work floor kitchen/dining floor, the living room floor and on the uppermost floor, a bedroom and bathroom space!
Keith Dewey used shipping containers to create a 2,000 square-foot home in Victoria, British Columbia, Using the recycled container building blocks, which only cost Dewey a few thousand dollars each, he was able to build his Zigloo, a three-bed/two-bath home with an open floor plan, five balconies and a full basement,
By cantilevering the additional levels, the appearance can be enhanced while also allowing for increased parking or landscaped areas on the ground level. Utilizing steel I-beams between levels not only creates an interstitial space for routing of utilities, but also facilitates the construction of decks for the upper levels, providing valuable access to outdoor space and enhanced views within a sprawling urban environment.
Stacking the containers directly on top of each other provides the most simple (construction) and

    Rietveld came to the De Stijl group as a cabinet maker and created spectacular furniture throughout his life. He used this as an inspiration for the plans and designs of his architecture. He expresses his spirits and definition into the whole piece. This structure is an anti-cube and does not contain much functional space, nor did it intend to. It instead throws all of this space out of the center therefore making the height, width, and depth an open space. The main areas such as the living room are on the second floor where as the private rooms are confined to the bottom. The second floor also uses sliding objects in order to be able to have definite shape or be open when needed. The movable panels illustrate three-dimensional ideas but have proportional planes. This contemporary style portrays nature through its open plan.…

    Starkville Donation Box

    We believe that a very good way to achieve this is to utilize what resources we have already, and after inspecting the current donation box very carefully we have concluded that, while it has its defects, including it as another section it would be to our benefit. The cost used to improve upon the door to the current box would be far less than discarding it entirely and using up more material for a third compartment. If we build more containers, sectioning and attaching them to the current box, we will successfully limit the overall cost, allowing us to expand and make the box even better. The exact cost has still yet to be figured out and is one of the last objectives to be met. We are continuing to do research on materials and their prices so that we can make the most cost effective box we can. This objective should be met by the beginning of November at the very…

    I chose to create a small art gallery to emphasize on the significance and symbolism of the subject of my space. “Stairs” by Rachel Whiteread was created in 2001 as one of the subject lines in her exhibit of a house called “ghost”. Thus, defining the idea of distance from reality, confusion, the upside down world, plainness, as well as, the psychological aspect that, plays tricks to the naked eye. The purpose of the sculpture is to make you question life with the variety of directional features in the sculpture. The design of my space has been created with an integration of themes by the selected geometric exterior walls and smooth texture. I created the exterior in such way resembles the shape of the stairs. The element…

    The first house my father built was constructed room by room and took more than 25 years to be built, a continuous work in progress. The original house was built in the standard square format without standard electricity and started with just four rooms: living room, dining room, kitchen and bedroom. The bathroom was located about 70 feet away in a little draw or valley from the house, which during the winter could be cold as the wind blew snow in during the most inopportune moments. New square rooms were attached to old square rooms as the house expanded outward to accommodate our growing family.…

    Robert Venturi was only thirty-four when he was requested by his mother to design and build a house for her. Up until this time all of Venturi’s designs had been mostly theoretical. He was now given a chance to make them concrete.2 It could be understood that Robert’s mother’s house was designed to help him with his career; he was given an opportunity to design and construct a building instead of writing and teaching about them. The Vanna Venturi House was to be Robert Venturi’s first building. Like many architects he was driven to test his ideas through construction.3 The house went through six basic schemes and six models were made to clearly exhibit the form of the house and Venturi’s evolving ideas.4…
