5. Container City, London
Developers Urban Space Management used a flexible, component-based
container construction system to build this city in the London
Docklands in 2001. The demand was so high for these homes made from
80% recycled materials that by 2002 they had built a second city right
next to it. Rather than following the 1 container = 1 unit concept,
architect Nicholas Lacey and partners and engineer Buro Happold used
component pieces to create adaptable living and work spaces.

That is incredibly ugly. Why not just build a warehouse with steel frame and prefabricated walls? Just as ugly but you could use it as a...well, a warehouse.
I´ll admit those things are probably quite handy as movable medical facilities and destruction-zone housing.
But to make a permanent house of that scale... You must be out of your mind.
