  • Cashel Mall
    The renewal of Christchurch, New Zealand after a devastating earthquake just took a huge leap with the opening of a pedestrian shopping mall made from shipping containers. The brightly colored stacked boxes hold 27 stores as part of the City Mall Re:START project. Thousands of visitors flocked to the temporary mall's opening the first weekend to enjoy the café, the large pedestrian area and two horse-shoe shaped pavilions. The mall offers a bit of normalcy to the residents, and some serious contemporary eco-style. The project is one of many shipping container designs we have seen, but this particular design has come under fire by another group for breach of intellectual property rights. The group is currently using every means to either get a licensing agreement or shut it down.
