More cargotecture — Colorado house constructed from shipping containers
This project questions the need for excessive space and challenges occupants to be efficient. Two [retired] shipping containers saddlebag a taller common space that connects local rock outcroppings to the expansive mountain ridge views. The containers house sleeping and work functions while the center space provides entry, dining, living and a loft above.
The project is planned to be off-the-grid using solar orientation, passive cooling, green roofs, pellet stove heating and photovoltaics to create electricity.
Designed by Studio H:T, whose principals were involved in the design of this University of Colorado student project built from pallets and various found materials.](http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m37l00KdcV1qzv12bo1_r2_500.jpg)

2012: Time for Change
“I think, we are in some kind of final examination, as to whether human beings are qualified to take on the responsibility we’ve been designed to be entrusted with, and this is not a matter of examination of the types of governments, nothing to do with politics, nothing to do with economic systems, it’s to do with the individual. Does the individual have the courage to really go along with the truth?”
-R. Buckminster Fuller
A Search for Beauty in Chaos.
