NEW YORK: The seven hundred and fifty-third entry for the seniors housing Global Awards for 2015 has been received.
CRG Architects has unveiled a proposal to replace slum housing with a pair of skyscrapers comprising stacks of brightly coloured shipping containers.
CRG Architects, which has offices in China and Nigeria, came up with the concept for Container Skyscraper to provide temporary accomodation to replace slum housing in developing countries.
The firm proposes that recycled shipping containers could be stacked to create high-density, cost-effective housing in urban areas – building on a string of inventive proposals for the storage structures from architects and designers, varying from a cross-shaped micro home to a fan-like photography studio.
