Goal & objective
To propose an alternative infrastructure for processing waste which engages the public in the process of upcycling to achieve a zero waste society.
Strategy
Using gap sites and underused plots, a decentralised network of upcycling facilities, operating at the small, medium and large scale, retain and release waste back into the city with restored value.
Impact
The architecture is composed of existing construction waste which becomes the symbol and language for our new social ritual of collective upcycling and responsible relationship to material resources.
