As trading among countries has expanded, the demand for containers to transport shipment has also increased dramatically. Ever since some architects started to use containers as an architectural unit in the 1990s by citing the merits of using containers such as short construction time, simple construction, economical efficiency, and easy recycling, containers are now considered as a new form of architecture. However, currently, container architecture in Korea can be found mostly in temporary architecture or makeshift structures, and the perception and the condition of such architecture are very poor, and related research and development are still insufficient. Small makeshift architecture is being built without considering the surrounding environment, and is damaging the surrounding landscape. To improve such container architecture into proper architectural facilities, practical solutions for legal and sanitary issues are continuously needed. Thus, in this study, the general concept and the current usage of container residential architecture in Korea will be reviewed, and by analyzing foreign cases, their applicability to Korea will be investigated. In addition, by analyzing the characteristics of small residential architecture as well as various combining methods, their practical applicability will be examined. |
