Eco Factor: Demonstration project for containerized housing.
Danish architecture firm MAPT has unveiled a stunning COP 15 pavilion that has been entirely constructed from recycled materials including shipping containers, to coincide with the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change. In addition to old shipping containers, the pavilion also reuses other surplus products from the wood and wind-turbine industries.
The shipping containers used in the pavilion can easily be dismantled and used again, even as a shipping container. The flexible design also ensures that the structure can be split up and used separately. The architects also believe that in future it will be possible to build both houses and second home where the principle of sustainability is incorporated from beginning to end.
