Reutilización de contenedores marítimos para Construcciones arquitectónicas
Abstract and Figures
ES: De las cenizas de la actual incertidumbre general que pone en cuestión las propias bases de nuestros valores culturales, nace la certeza de que no podemos continuar a basar nuestro pensamiento ni acción en los paradigmas económicos, constructivos, energéticos, sistémicos, sociales o productivos de las pasadas décadas. Además, surge la necesidad de repensar la naturaleza existencialista del Ser Urbano, en una demanda de (nuevas) maneras y soluciones sostenibles de forma holística e interactiva, basadas en las lecciones y ejemplos de la historia de las civilizaciones. Así, este estudio propone como objetivo analizar y especular sobre la posibilidad de reutilización (upgrade) del contenedor marítimo - residuo industrial, así como de su cadena industrial para nuevos propósitos, tales como residencias permanentes o abrigos temporales en escenarios de desastre, desde un enfoque bioclimático e ecológico, con la finalidad última de comprobar que en el rescate de la basura industrial se tiene una contribución más para la disminución de la huella ecológica de la Humanidad.
EN: From the ashes of the current uncertainty which questions the very foundations of our cultural values, it rises the conviction that we shall not continue to base our thinking or actions on economic, constructivist, energetic, systemic, social and productive paradigms of the past decades. Moreover, it urges the need for rethinking the existentialist nature of the Human Being, along with a quest for new ways, strategies and sustainable solutions, based on a holistic and interactive point of view as well as on the examples and lessons learnt from the history of civilizations.
Therefore, this thesis proposes to further analyze and speculate about the possibilities of reutilization and/or recycling of shipping containers, seen as industrial waste, for new ends such as permanent dwellings, emergency housing or shelters in disaster scenarios, focusing on bioclimatic and ecologic issues. The objective is to provide proofs and demonstrate that industrial waste’s recovery is an important contribution to the reduction of the ecological footprint of Humanity.

In April 1956, a refitted oil tanker carried fifty-eight shipping containers from Newark to Houston. From that modest beginning, container shipping developed into a huge industry that made the boom in global trade possible. The Box tells the dramatic story of the container's creation, the decade of struggle before it was widely adopted, and the sweeping economic consequences of the sharp fall in transportation costs that containerization brought about. Published on the fiftieth anniversary of the first container voyage, this is the first comprehensive history of the shipping container. It recounts how the drive and imagination of an iconoclastic entrepreneur, Malcom McLean, turned containerization from an impractical idea into a massive industry that slashed the cost of transporting goods around the world and made the boom in global trade possible. But the container didn't just happen. Its adoption required huge sums of money, both from private investors and from ports that aspired to be on the leading edge of a new technology. It required years of high-stakes bargaining with two of the titans of organized labor, Harry Bridges and Teddy Gleason, as well as delicate negotiations on standards that made it possible for almost any container to travel on any truck or train or ship. Ultimately, it took McLean's success in supplying U.S. forces in Vietnam to persuade the world of the container's potential. Drawing on previously neglected sources, economist Marc Levinson shows how the container transformed economic geography, devastating traditional ports such as New York and London and fueling the growth of previously obscure ones, such as Oakland. By making shipping so cheap that industry could locate factories far from its customers, the container paved the way for Asia to become the world's workshop and brought consumers a previously unimaginable variety of low-cost products from around the globe.
