So what happens to these massive and durable structures after that? Often they're recycled into low-cost storage-other times they simply sit in docks around the world. Now, architects are finding new and improved ways to unlock their low-cost and sustainable development potential. From upscale vacation rentals to housing for the unhoused, wineries, ski lodges and sculptures, here are some ways former shipping containers are getting second lives.
01
Sustainable Support System
LOS ANGELES
On land that was meant to become a men's jail, instead stands a 60,500 square-foot housing facility supporting unhoused people. The Hilda L. Solis Care First Village holds 232 units, as well as a common building with laundry facilities, dining areas, a dog park and spaces for counseling and case management meetings.

Performing Art
Cart MIAMI
The concept of the micro theater first began in Madrid, where audiences gathered to watch short performances in different rooms of an old brothel. In 2012, Microtheater Miami made its debut, hosting short plays in shipping containers. Step inside and watch one or all of the original 15-minute skits, presented in English and Spanish.

Urban Glamping
