A striking example of shipping container architecture, Platoon Kunsthalle serves as an exciting and inspiring new exhibit hall and art center in Seoul, Korea. Built from standard shipping containers by Graft Lab Architects, the Kunsthalle, provides a gorgeous modern space where new ideas thrive and creativity is let loose. The building opened last April and houses art studio space, exhibit areas, a restaurant and bar, as well as lots of open space to gather.

That is really interesting that they would use old shipping containers to create places like this. I kind of think it would be a good idea to make a home or something like that out of them because they are strong and should be able to last awhile if there is the need. I really hope that people are finding ways to use these and not just letting them rot away. http://www.storageonwheelslv.com
