5 Conclusion: Potential and Future Developments
Certainly, the proposal presents some weaknesses, but we have put forward possible
solutions.
Firstly, the current normative apparatus based on traditional construction techniques is quite strict and not keen to recognize innovations. The difficulty to introduce
the container system into the world of structural construction legislation could be
solved through a structural safety assessment tool to validate the system in compliance with current legislation, as well as a tool for monitoring and reporting possible
difficulties during use.
Another critical aspect is the need for an ad hoc design via technical, plant and
structural solutions which are not available in current production. We have solved
this problem by presenting innovative proposals to upgrade existing and consolidated
products, according to the attainment of high performances combined with management and monitoring aspects, especially concerning anti-seismic and energetic/plant
solutions.
The proposal may also present threats that could spoil the result. Among them,
for example, a generalized vision linked to a negative perception of ‘living in a
container’ with possible problems of acceptability. Such obstacle is easily overcome
as the container is used as a structural system and, as far as permanent housing
solutions are concerned, with guaranteed performances. Moreover, it is not visible
unless the user chooses otherwise.
