"Carder is a "shed boy", a catchy term applied to a non-catchy lifestyle. It refers to people, mostly single men, who live off the grid and low-on-the-hog. Many of the homes aren't exactly sheds. They are boats moored on land, trailers, buses, vans, somebody's spare bedroom, a shipping container. For many, being a shedder is more attitude or necessity than address."
Wired 8/02 - PLAY/arts - Containment Strategy : "Shipping containers are becoming the bricks of the 21st century architecture. Inovative builders in the US and the developing world first turned these vessels of the global economy into houses and schools. Now the Dutch firm MVRDV wants to turn 3,192 of them into City Container, a temporary structure in Rotterdam Harbor. The walls (stacked 15 high), floors, ceiling, beams and elevator cars would be made of steel boxes. The complex would house galleries, hotels, restaurants, and proformance spaces for the planned Biannial of Architecture in the Netherlands, which is in the works for 2003."
