Virtually any structural engineer who works with shipping containers knows the strength is only on the corners and not in the middle. To overlap or crisscross containers can be done for art or concepts, but in reality the cost of added steel supports, engineering fees and re-certification to make them legal and pass building inspections is entirely unrealistic and unaffordable. How about showing the public realistic container architecture. This is very dangerous to promote....
