arch1201jb: Class 1 work

Comparison of Features and Design Approach

Both are container focused designs
Both consider an idea of self sufficiency (use of planter box to grow food and use of kitchen space on truck)
first image can be used to provide occupation or self supported relief of food. Which is easily portable to and from disaster relief "villages". this can be beneficial as it provides food to multiple areas with less facilities.
second structure is more 'permanent' and constricted to one function (in this case living). however the intelligent use of space gives opportunity for multiple use (eg: food production, energy generation and multiple residency) which is all dependent on variety and number of containers that are linked ie: towns.
one issue is that neither make use of 'additional' design that can be transported inside the container but either added on or used separately to the container so as to capitalise on space and transportation costs.

Design Features to Include in my Design

some sort of area to grow sustenance (like the image, on the roof) which can also provide insulation and filtration for water.
I'm also considering to include a socialistic communal design where each member has a job, shelter and communal amenities.
