Building with shipping containers isn’t exactly new, but until recently it hasn’t been exactly mainstream either. In Anyang, South Korea, there is a 2,600-square-foot school made of shipping containers. Wilmington, N.C., has an entire community of shipping containers, a project known as the Cargo District, which completed its first phase in August. In fact, there is only one thing about it that reminds them they are living in a shipping container: Instead of hanging pictures on the wall with nails, they use magnets. And if there’s anything that can do that, it’s a shipping container.
