Modular Space Made from Container Homes Are Building Blocks

There are 300 million shipping containers unused in the world. They can be a modular adaptable infrastructure.

1. What is the problem that you are committed to solving? 

Provide cost-effective infrastructure approaches to improve resilience in the face of increased storm-, sea-, and tidewater as well as enable coastal communities, governments, and corporations to use data to understand and make complex decisions around sustainable and resilient development.

2. What is the solution you are proposing? 

A modular smart building infrastructure that adapts to the unique environments of coastal communities. Turning the unused containers around the world into housing , commercial and creative venues that can be adjusted as needed. In places where there is regular flooding due to higher tides and frequent natural disasters, you can simply move the building to a safe place when there is impending danger. If you can't move it then you can rest assured that a structure built to be stacked 8 high in a hurricane can take the blows. This entire system could be run efficiently and an autonomously using data around global climate change. Using the apis here https://www.programmableweb.co... We will predict major catastrophes and have modular building infrastructure than can adjust. in addition people who have houses from containers can place an addition container on top of there's to create revenue via storage , crafts, or goods. Each of the effecient units also reduce carbon footprint and work towards reducing 1 billions of lbs in steel waste. 

3. How will your solution change the world?

Increase the viability and scale of sustainable economic activity by providing easy to set up , expandable , adaptable commercial spaces. 

Attracting the 50 million people in tiny house community to come see the sustainable solution in action. 

Enable governments to modularly develop their regions without putting major financial and political pressures around emergency decisions. Building modularly means you don't have to get it perfect the 1st 2nd or even the 20th time. It's a continuously iterative process. 

Shipping containers have been a modern marvel for their ability to move goods and ideas across oceans. Now they can be used to create sustainable economies and societies. While shipping containers have been used for novelty purposes few places have completed a scaled solution powered by technology. 

Using climate change apis we can predict how and when to move the containers. The technology is used to predict the optimum time , place , and situation for each and every container. Using the data in bulk standardized by the size and shapes of shipping containers, having the proper predictive models and movement chains can make adaptable life seemless.

Scale the current prototype to 50 units all active and sustainable. 

Use the model as a template that can be popped up all over the world in areas that need it most. Using the data across all of these communities can then use the data to build a more perfect society. There are a 1 billion people with immediately addressable need for housing , commercial opportunities , and safe shelter. This will set up a path for them to address these needs.

The solution will be deployed by gradually expanding and adapting the current container units on the property. The communities will access it by becoming apart of this community or purchasing on lease to own their own containers to be taken elsewhere. 

200-300 people through housing , commercial opportunities , social gatherings , think tanks etc. Currently this people frequent Sun Village between 1-10 times a week.  

12 mo: 800 people current capacity of space.

3 year : 10,000 people : this is a moderate expectation based on already scouted locations 

Unique blend of technologists , world-makers, and creatives. 

Shipping containers cost 1,200 to buy. They can be refabed for under 10k . Then the people who rent them can rent to own them for ~ 20k ($500-$1,500/mo). This sustains the location and solution. In addition after paid off those people can move or pay rent to remain at the location. They also have the ability to generate commerce with space and store above their container.

By providing the opportunity to expand the project and share the ideas with thought leaders around the world.

Financial. Containers cost more than our meager budget can allow at the moment.
