4. Student Housing Project Keetwonen, Amsterdam
Here, containers have been used to create 1,000 dorm units for Dutch
students, making it the biggest container city in the world. It was
launched by Tempo Housing in 2006. Not only does it look hip and
provides all the amenities a student could ask for, it also has a
rooftop used for rainwater drainage, heat dispersal and insulation of
the units below. The award-winning project has received a lot of
international attention and is so successful that its planned
relocation after 5 years has been postponed until 2016.
