The most innovative spaces and residences tend to be futuristic or ultra-contemporary buildings that look like they are straight out of Aeon Flux. But when you think of innovative architecture, it isn’t often that structures made from old shipping containers come to mind. Recycled shipping containers are collected and modified to become shops, offices, homes, studios, hotels, and more.
