Atlas City Project

I've seen this type of construction getting really popular the last few years. It's a great concept. It's just too tacky and, for lack of a better term, primitive for Atlas. Still, I love how people are beginning to get creative with recycling materials.

yeah I have seen this before. It is a cool idea within itself, but for what we are planning I don't know if it would fit the capacity of a city which we are striving for. But, it is a good example how something cool can be made from such seemingly singularly purposed objects. This also reminds me of that guy who built his own island from water bottles. thanks for sharing.

I do think factory produced housing is the way to go, though I'm less keen on steel myself.

Rust worries me

We have a hotel a few miles from here made from containers, faced with brick, I wonder if this community will be likewise ?

Be interesting to hear what their actual costs are. (I imagine lower than most current building solutions.)
