The apocolyptic above is the equivalent of showing burning wood buildings and then condemning wood structures as not worthy. Google search the work of Peter DeMaria in LA. his container projects make you wnat to move into a steel box. Has many real projects, not just "doomsday" visionary renderings! Built alll types of residential, commercial, artist studios, corporate data centers and hotel buildings with containers and the projects are damn good. The images above are great eye candy for the anti-Norman Rockwellians however I prefer to view reality as it exists. Go containers! good post - prompted me to contribute!

It is inevitable to wander down to the last pixel of information and encounter the absurd, shallow and recurrent critics of no-ones like me. Comments should not be allowed on sites like this.

If people have visions for how they would use a particular material, why not let them expound on it until the cows come home. I don't see anyone saying, hey, we've used wood, concrete and steel for centuries, enough is enough, let's not use those materials any more. Quite frankly, I can't even find the point of this rather cryptic article. If you can't promote creative and alternative ideas, then get the heck out of the way so that others can thrive.
