Shipping containers have been used as both "pop up" malls and established bazaars for many years.

Early examples include a 7000 Shipping Container Bazaar in Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan, with more modern offering that include a Tourist based Container City / Mall in Cholula Mexico two hours outside of Mexico City, the Container City in London, and a vast Boxpark Proposal in Shoreditch London.

Very Avant Garde Christchurch. Kudos.

I've found photos of the Dordoi Bazaar in Bishkek on flickr, for example this, this and this.  Schwede 66  04:15, 26 October 2011 (UTC)
