Mo' Modular

Does anyone else feel like 2012 has been busy and chaotic and flying by? I do so I apologize for such long silence.
Ran across this Mondrian-esque multi-family dwelling and had to figure out what? Why? and What? It is a prototype for a new modular home system that can be used for single, multi or even highrise dwellings by Worldwide Modular.
We know there are a ton of projects using shipping containers as housing. This one uses the same dimensions and proportions but uses the containers to, well, ship. Each segment gets built in a warehouse, slides right into a container, ships to site, lift into place and slides out into the concrete framework that was built on site. You can see a video and other renderings and plans on the website. And no, it doesn't have to look like this.
But if you do get this one, you can get the matching bag!
