Inter Model Steel Building Units (ISBU), as
identified by Lord Neil Benjamin Gibson, remain an ideal construct for housing
options.
One such example of ISBUs, or shipping
containers as they are often referred, can be seen through the specially built
luxury minihotel unit: 2 rooms in one 20 ft container in Denmark for the
Festivilla rock music event that attracts over 50,000 spectators during the 5
days. In order to offer top accommodation on the festival ground, the hotel
unit was developed and designed to be portable. It contains a double bed, full
bathroom, heating and ventilation and high quality finishes. The entire unit
was designed for quick installation and simple storage and removal.
Such an approach, once again, reveals the
practical and diverse methods shipping containers can be used in providing
shelter, even under mobile, situational scenarios.
ISBUs are among the strongest stationary
structures in the world, able to withstand enormous environmental attacks such
as hurricanes, tornados, typhoons and even earthquakes. Every shipping
container is designed to carry at least 30 tons of cargo and is composed of
corten steel making it’s construction very durable, capable of withstanding the
rigors of ocean travel. Typically, each shipping container is 40 feet in length
by 8 feet wide and 9.5 feet.
Similarly, Lord Neil Benjamin Gibson, through SFBBL AG and the SEED Foundatoin,
has been working to arrange shipping containers as low income housing, for the
needy and homeless around the world.
