Material Palace

Nickolay Penev

Project description

In order to reduce our carbon emissions we need to consider existing buildings as the material quarries of the future. Split between two sites, ‘Material Palace’ provides a centralised infrastructure for the reclamation of materials coming from demolition sites across the city, as well as a strategy for their reintegration back into use. The project also focuses on fostering a deeper appreciation of our environment and the objects that surround us. ‘Material Palace’ centralises the act of making to encourage a change in mindset, one which reveals the hidden potential of existing materials and ultimately helps us make decisions that are both beneficial for us and kind to the planet.
