My favorite new architecture site is Inhabitat.com which features archictectural marvels from around the world. This modern house is designed with wood pallets and other shipping containers.
... the modest home is composed of two 40′ shipping containers and two 20′ containers. The use of wooden pallets on the exterior of the home gives it fantastic texture, but also has purpose — they provide shade and allow the home to be naturally cooled, since air can move freely between the slats. The containers meanwhile, are completely weather tight and provide the necessary structural capacity for the home.
