Abstract

The possibility of reusing port containers has been analyzed. Analysis of existing complexes in different countries of the world. Prospects for the development of buildings of different functional purpose from port containers are determined. The functional purpose of the various types of buildings and structures that can be obtained when using containers of different sizes gives the prospect of their widespread use in urban development. Humanity is looking for ways to reduce its environmental footprint and become more environmentally conscious. The best and easiest way to do this is to build your home from recycled materials.

Buildings with port containers and pre-dominated plumbing blocks are a good option for establishing an essential comfortable living, office, commercial or administrative center. Analyzing the experience of using container containers in different countries of the world, and exploring the possibility of designing different functional buildings and structures, gives an opportunity to determine the perspective of their use in urban environments. The design of the container is a frame with a large enough carrying capacity. In fact, it is a constructor that is easy to assemble and disassemble, as well as easy to transport, decorate with any materials depending on the region and design idea.

A container is a sturdy and compact transport unit designed to carry heavy loads during shipping or land transportation of different materials, different in volume and storage conditions, which is what determines the design of the container.

When designing and constructing different functional buildings from port containers, all the advantages and disadvantages, as well as some features of their use, should be taken into account. The construction of houses from block containers is carried out in a short time - from a week to a month. Such advantages make buildings with port containers and converted cargo units an excellent option for creating a modern comfortable home, office, shopping or administrative center.
