But who would have thought that in South Korea, a shopping mall built entirely from containers—COMMON GROUND—has emerged, with an architectural style that completely defies expectations. Towering cobalt-blue containers stacked in layers, its eye-catching design has made this container mall a major attraction in Korea recently.
