Abstract

A system, elements of the system and a method of forming scalable, compatible and resilient building structures. Preferably, one or more of (i) standard intermodal containers or racks (steel cuboidal versions as well as flat racks typically used on cargo ships); (ii) pallet racks (steel frame versions typically used in warehouses), and/or (iii) boat storage racks (steel frame versions typically used in marinas) are utilized to form a main structure/assembly (e.g., outer shell or frame) of a building structure that is easily assembled with width ranges from, for example, 24 feet wide to 40 feet wide, a length of 40 feet or longer and multiple stories or levels (e.g., 2 to 4 stories or levels). Preferably, existing portions of containers and associated racks are used to interconnect these members/elements (e.g., casting corners or fork-lift receiving channels/sections/portions) to form scalable, compatible and resilient building structures.
