Don’t miss these great shipping container architecture books for sale on Amazon.
Despite the growing popularity of container architecture there’s still a limited number of books published on the subject.
Shipping containers are affordable, adaptable and turn heads when used to create buildings so it’s easy to get excited about the possibilities
This this month I discovered and reviewed 4 container architecture books that are almost certain to inspire you further. Here’s a quick round-up:
Container Atlas: A practical guide to container architecture
Author H. Slawik has done a really great job of curating a range of shipping container architecture images from around the world that leave you feeling utterly inspired.
Buildings made from both shipping and modular containers are referenced in the book and include an array of building types including pop-up shops, offices, homes and even a sauna.
As well as stunning photography there is also some practical information to compliment the book’s content.
Containers: Sustainable Architecture
If you are thinking of creating a building out of shipping containers and want to make it as sustainable as possible then this book by Luid De Garrido is a great place to start.
Filled with colour drawings it’s an easy book to read and gives plenty of actionable information.
Sustainable Architecture: Containers (2)
Here is the next instalment of sustainable architecture which continues with the theme of making your container project as environmentally friendly as possible.
Inside you will find informative illustrations of sustainability techniques that can be used on a range of container buildings including shops, guest homes and apartment complexes.
New Container Architecture
More glossy images of containers being used in a variety of innovative ways are displayed in this book by Jure Kotnik.
As well a draw dropping photos the book contains an introduction to some of the technical aspects of building with containers together with 30+ detailed case studies.
P.S. Some of these books sell out quickly on Amazon and results in marketplace sellers raising prices to extraordinarily high levels.
If that’s the case, just add the book to your Amazon wishlist until the price falls back down (Camel camel camel is a great price tracking tool for setting an alert).
Hope this container architecture book round-up helped, happy reading!
