Adam Kalkin isn't the only architect to make homes out of shipping containers . A handful of architects, including Jennifer Siegal and Lot-Ek , began using them ten years ago as a gritty reaction against the tidy white surfaces of modernism. But nobody has employed shipping containers more inventively than Kalkin , a New Jersey architect and artist who has used them to design luxurious homes, museum additions, and refugee housing. In architectural circles, Kalkin is regarded as something of an oddball. He began his talk at the Urban Center in New York Tuesday night by playing the first five minutes of a Jerry Lewis movie , followed by the actor's acceptance speech at the Academy Awards last month.

The process takes many years, but the result is completely natural, surprisingly strong, and looks like something out of a wonderful fantasy world.
