tiabunna's photos with the keyword: shipping containers

Through the (rather dirty) window of our city hotel in Christchurch. All these buildings have been derelict since the earthquake and are surrounded by exclusion fencing, cleared sites, and more shipping containers. Image by my lovely wife.

Though in a sorry state, this building survived the Christchurch earthquakes. Shipping containers are stacked this way in front of a number of buildings, presumably to preserve the facades while also minimising risk in the streets should another quake occur. It seems (see note, copied from a shop window) there is an interesting term for this kind of damage. Explored.
