In April of 1939 the New York
World's Fair, "Building The World of Tomorrow," opened on what was once
a marshy wasteland in Flushing Meadows, just east of the great metropolis.
From
its inception to its closing ceremonies, the Fair promoted one of the last
great metanarratives of the Machine Age: the unqualified belief in science
and technology as a means to economic prosperity and personal freedom.
Wedged between the greatest economic disaster in America and the growing
international tension that would result in World War II, The World of Tomorrow
was a much-needed antidote to the depression and confusion of the times.
It provided the one saving grace which all of America needed - it provided
hope. XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Design your living space & workshop and take it with you... Maverick designer Colin Reedy tells us how. "I felt like I had enough information to start designing. I searched for examples of prior efforts to modify shipping containers for housing. The companies that sold the containers sometimes made modifications like windows or doors for the contractors to use at construction sites, but nothing interesting. I found images from Hong Kong where people were living in containers set on huge metal frames in an apartment-like arrangement. Not much had been done to the containers except stairway access. The best examples I found were not for shipping containers, but from mid-century efforts at modular housing or “utopian” mass housing."
