I'm no fan of modernist architecture. There are plenty of examples on the Mizzou campus of ugly big gray box buildings that make it even more upsetting to go to class at 8 in the morning. Buildings like Middlebush (photo), the Ag building, Arts & Science, GCB, my dorm Freshman year (photo), I could go on. Fortunately there is White campus (photo) and Red campus (photo) also to balance the look so the whole campus ends up looking eclectic.
Well there's this architect I found on coolhunter.com named Adam Kalkin who is taking old shipping containers (like this one) and turning them into homes. He is also turning them into restaurants or other functional living and working spaces. It's really cool recycling.
Check out Adam Kalkin's website here: (Architecture and Hygine) He has the most random stuff, from stock recommendations to 'Jesus Smokes' t-shirts to an "Old Lady House" design concept.
