Abstract | ||||
Today, with successive crises on the global economic landscape, large numbers of untapped cargo shipping containers are accumulating in ports around the world and recycling them requires complex industrial processes that not only cost money but consume a lot of energy. And hence the idea of reusing it for other purposes, and with a clear interest in the principles of sustainability in architecture has increased interest in reusing shipping containers to form different architectural spaces as one of the eco-friendly architecture images Based on the foregoing, the research aims to study the re-use of shipping containers in architecture as one of the innovative ways of redesigning internal spaces capable of serving more than one function and containing many business activities in particular from their use of a small business to a wider scale including a large commercial enterprise and their relationship to architecture sustainability, The study assumes that the study of reusing shipping containers as one of the key elements of architecture will contribute significantly to solving some environmental problems based on their reliance on sustainability standards and objectives. and can be used to implement projects with a limited or large business activity, To achieve this, the study relies on two methodologies: first, the extractive approach to shed light on the theoretical backgrounds that dealt with both standard shipping containers in terms of definition and description of container body, manufacturing materials, loads, assembly units and container transportation containers, their advantages and disadvantages, what container architecture means and their areas of use in the building in general, and then address the initial stages of the construction of container buildings with all their own details. Second, the analytical descriptive approach is to analyze models of the reuse of shipping containers in commercial enterprises globally and analyze models of their local reuse in the field of business enterprises, compare them together to see the most important methods used in this field and how to utilize them in the field of container architecture in Egypt to reach the research objective and then draw conclusions and recommendations. | ||||
