15.01.2022 The Australian Institute of Project Management recently published an article written by Gerard Couttson the theme of Recovery, in their digital magazine, Paradigm Shift. The recent bush fire recovery program is an excellent opportunity for this type of [modular] building product to be introduced as a viable, cost effective and time efficient solution within the Australian landscape. As we look towards the future and how we can build ourselves out of the COVID-19 period, ...looking outside the box becomes all the more important or should I say living inside the box.

02.01.2022 Shipping containers can be re-purposed as accessible wildlife viewing facilities or educational venues. The simple green exterior of this concept fits comfortably with the aesthetic of the area. Shipping containers are constructed from mild steel and can be embellished with decorative or plain Corten steel panels. Openings are reinforced with structural steel, increasing their sturdiness and resilience to potential vandalism. Internally, the walls are plywood on a timber fra...me. In this case the container is painted with a rust-resistant glaze to provide protection against the elements. Bird hides encourage community interest and appreciation of the natural environment. #BirdWatch #BirdWatching #BirdHide #LocalWildlife #ViewingPlatform #Educational #ParkShelter #ParksVictoria #NationalPark #LocalPark #RepurposedShippingContainer #ShippingContainer #Containertecture #CortenSteel #RustResistant #CommunityInvolvement #GreenSpace #Sustainable
