A selection of shipping containers being turned into living spaces were explored\u00a0and Rebecca asked the students to imagine their favourite place. They were then tasked with designing a holiday home using 3 containers. The home could take any shape that the students wanted and they came up with various designs &#8211; some homes were built on three levels,\u00a0some\u00a0containers were used for swimming pools\u00a0while others joined their containers\u00a0together on one level to create a large open plan living space.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.kent.ac.uk\/ksa\/files\/2014\/07\/lowres_rh2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-431\" src=\"http:\/\/blogs.kent.ac.uk\/ksa\/files\/2014\/07\/lowres_rh2-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"lowres_rh2\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.kent.ac.uk\/ksa\/files\/2014\/07\/lowres_rh2-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blogs.kent.ac.uk\/ksa\/files\/2014\/07\/lowres_rh2-1024x682.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Rebecca Hobbs ran a workshop today for students from local schools and colleges which saw students creating a holiday home using\u00a0three shipping containers.
