Can you legally turn a commercial shed into a house?

Whenever I see load-bearing cardboard like this one from Macskyver's build, I always try to find a use for it:

I have heard many times of going into stores and asking for old boxes, but my wife works retail, and when we moved, I brought home 25 boxes.
I can't imagine removing tape and staples, cutting boxes into 3.45" strips, gluing them into a stack 1.45" thick, and wrapping them in fiberglass and flame-retardant resin, but it should still be fairly strong, and insulate better than wood.
It wouldn't flex like wood, though.

When we were making geodesic domes with grade school kids in the 1970s, we sourced the carboard from piano shops. Just the flaps were as big as a whole supermarket box, but it was double-layered.

Just dispense with the frame and go with a thin shell.

Whenever I see such containers, usually they're meant to be a temporary setup, mostly on jobsites. Or as commercial operations such as pop-up stores. And due to mobility issues, in order to make it easier to load and unload with a truck, now some dedicated containers have been made out of aluminium too. But for long-term living quarters, it's either wood or brick and mortar here.

Maybe if I were living in a coastal city, I would consider a container or two to convert into permanent living quarters.
