Summary:

"The latest trend in architecture is to try to find a balance between construction and well-being, applying renewable energies and seeking low cost, without renouncing comfort. The construction of houses from containers or prefabricated modules is the basis of creative reuse architecture, which is an innovative and efficient alternative to traditional construction when choosing a home, thanks to its versatility and ability to be adapted to the space needs of each person, by expanding or reducing modules, mobility and ease of transportation to new areas, and reduced construction times. It is a great option for sustainable economical and durable living. This book includes 14 selected projects, all developed at a graphic level, with images of the exterior and interior, plans, elevations, sections, construction details and a brief report specifying the most unique aspects of the project."--Back cover.
