This strategy aims to build resilient structures that are adaptable to changing ground conditions, which allow businesses to get back on their feet.

The containers provided an obvious solution to the problem of building a temporary shopping area in an earthquake zone. They’re strong, modular, ubiquitous and most importantly exude a sense of safety in a city fraught with architectural danger.
