Whether the container is a structure or a building
Containers can be classified as buildings or structures, depending on their purpose and design. In some cases, containers were used as buildings, such as in the case of the Xianlin Motor City, where more than 200 containers were used as shops. In other cases, however, containers are used as structures, such as in some industrial and commercial locations where containers are used as temporary storage or office space. In addition, according to Mike Faraday's theory, metal box-shaped buildings, such as containers, are considered safe places during thunderstorms. In short, containers are classified depending on their purpose and design, and can be buildings or structures.
