                          Abstract  
                               
       With growing populations and changing economics, Southern California is currently facing a 
       housing crisis. Environmental concerns, limited resources, and local legislation add to the 
       complexities of this issue. Architects and designers are using shipping containers, in various 
       commercial, public, and residential applications, to resolve some of these challenges in various 
       parts of the world. Many professionals within the industry are touting container construction as a 
       cost-effective, safe, and efficient alternative to architecture constructed using traditional building 
       materials.   
       The purpose of this stand-alone research paper is to examine data related to shipping container 
       architecture to further understand its practicality, advantages, and limitations when used in a 
       residential application. Critical data will be obtained through library and online research, 
       interviews with working professionals, case study reviews, and the use of industry related 
       publications.  
       The goal is to help design professionals and civic officials understand the basic facts of shipping 
       container architecture while providing additional detailed analysis to determine if this design 
       concept can be considered a viable option to help resolve components of the housing crisis 
       experienced in Southern California.

               Shipping Container Architecture in a Changing Landscape  
          Although California has historically been an expensive place to live, Southern California 
       has been facing a housing crisis that has gained national attention over the past twelve years.  
       Population growth, a changing economic environment, climate and natural resource concerns, as 
       well as archaic legislation have all added to the complex housing-related issues that Californians 
       face every day (Buhayar & Cannon, 2019). Though multiple cities and counties within the state 
       have sponsored research in how to help address these issues, California still faces these 
       challenges. Professionals within the design industry have constructed innovative methods using 
       shipping containers to help address some of these issues. Many professionals within the industry 
       believe this design concept offers cost-effective, safe, and efficient solutions to these widespread 
       issues. Through various design applications throughout the world, designers are helping change 
       the perception of shipping container architecture. Even with its challenges, shipping container 
       architecture can potentially have a positive impact on neighborhoods, the environment, and the 
       quality of life of its residents. This study helps examine the innovative concepts of shipping 
       container architecture to scrutinize its viability in addressing housing-related issues.   
                         Housing Issues  
            According to Buhayar and Cannon (2019), the median price for a house in California 
       now averages just over $600,000, which is more than twice the national level. Out of the 
       country’s seven most expensive housing markets, five belong to California, with three of them 
       being located in the southern part of the state. These markets are responsible for more than 50% 
       of San Diego households being cost burdened (more than 30% are considered severely cost
