| Abstract | ||||
| Although the containers are technically manufactured for continuous reuse, a large number of them are neglected as a result of specialized companies having more than required, as well as the higher cost of trans-shipment to their port compared to the cost of other new purchases, or their end-of-life as a shipping and storage container. Research has found that 20 million containers are neglected every year in different places around the world. There are several proposed design philosophical orientations that support sustainable development to this kind of light structure by reusing it with knowledgeable support, such as user-centered design, contextual design, participatory design, Brutalism architecture, capsule architecture, Constructivist architecture, sustainable integrative design, and others. The design process is in three stages: Research and analysis, architectural idea, expression. The three phases can be expressed in the architectural language. Where research and analysis represent the theoretical and philosophical framework supporting design, this process of developing the architectural idea is done through sources from which the architect extracts the components of the architectural idea, and in addition to the design stages of the architectural idea, the designer must rely on a number of elements or areas from which the architectural idea is derived, ending to reach the final product and this is the stage of expression. | ||||
