ABSTRACT

Reusing and recycling of materials is considered as an important value in Sustainable


Design and Architecture that has prolonged among many historical ages, from reuse
of stone, wood, and marble. The previous decades witnessed the use of many
materials in creating spaces that can host various functions. From re-use of paper, till
reusing steel shipping containers, various attempts have been made to explore the
possibilities, opportunities and examples of creating many functions, projects, or even
large buildings been constructed using shipping containers. The wide increase of
these applications leads to the emerging of a type of Architecture called Containers
Architecture. This paper is an attempt to explore Adaptability of Containers for use in
Student Housing in the Indian Context, by studying different opportunities of reusing
these steel boxes, that are usually supposed to be left unused or expensively
reprocessed in a complicated manufacturing process that not only costs money but
also consuming energy. This Research Paper aims to create knowledge in student A
housing using Shipping Containers to hosts different functions & human activities, not
only on the scale of an individual building but also on a larger scale that can help in B
creating a campus that is structurally stable & safe, environment friendly, with very
S
high capabilities of achieving aesthetic values that can be utilized by students. Going
through this study, it will explore & analyse some projects and case studies from many T
points of views, Geometrically, Architecturally, Structurally and Environmentally by
secondary data collection i.e. literature review and understanding the user opinion by R
primary data collection i.e. questionnaires.
