Show moreIPRO 339 is focused on providing an affordable housing option for the working poor in Juarez, Mexico. This semester we will research the technologies involved in reusing shipping containers for this housing. We will design a prototype housing unit which will relate to other units in an overall community, with services such as commerce, open spaces for activity, and community centers to support them. We wish to design a housing community that embodies the ideals of humanity, affordability, functionality, opportunity, sustainability, durability, safety, culture, and neighborhood.
