Our detachment from our waste has resulted in increased wastefulness and carelessness in throwing things away. This is embodied in current recycling centres where people dispose of their waste to never be seen again. This project aims to reconnect people to their waste through an architecture that allows for the making, testing, and exhibiting of recycling strategies from a specific waste from the surrounding communities.

The exhibit space and making space are fixed and act as anchors for the experimental spaces made from the different recycling strategies above which lean off, grab, embed, and hook into the three towering obelisks.

During the project, the program of the building was practiced and different recycling methods for wooden shipping pallets were explored and resulted in a 1:1 chair which embodies the aim of the project. The chair shows that something which is left on the streets as waste can become something useful and well-designed, bringing ‘waste’ into people's homes and creating a dialogue around what we do with our waste.
