T.E.D stands for Transportable Emergency Dwelling. A new way of building houses is now already being practiced in the United States. Homes are built using a shipping container. This unique and low cost housing is perfect for people with limited budget, or even those who have enough, but is wanted to have a unique and elegant housing. Each container has the ability to hold two families, and can easily be extended by pulling its compartments and tents. It was really thinking of building a home out from used shipping containers. I found it a lot cheaper compared to regular homes. One day soon, I can also have a unique home that are now starting to invade the creative world.

It’s not used as an actual house for anyone in the U.S. or anywhere else – it’s for disasters like hurricanes, fires, or earthquakes where people’s homes have been destroyed and they need a place to live until everything is back to normal.
