Project Lead the Way - Green Architecture
Shipping containers were originally invented to carry cargo across oceans. Cargo shipping containers make great housing because they are strong, durable, waterproof, resistant to mold, fire, and termites, as well as being affordable, easy to assemble, stackable, and readily available. Shipping containers are in abundant supply and many are ready for recycling; eco-friendly housing is the ideal solution. JSTEM’s GTT2 students are tasked with designing a one-story home from four reclaimed shipping containers using their knowledge of factors like room sizes and relationships, kitchen working triangle, and plumbing configurations. GTT2 Students shared their shipping container home designs with Chelsea, a recent University of Texas Graduate with a degree in advertising with concentrations in marketing and design, to get feedback and extend their understanding of floor plan design
