The proposed project is a multifunctional centre for delivery drivers, constructed using self-recycled and self-manufactured polymer building materials. It aims to provide a supportive and safe environment for drivers, addressing their often-neglected needs. The building incorporates a skill development scheme focused on plastic recycling, using materials collected by drivers. It features a translucent facade, personalised spaces, and an efficient flow to enhance driver comfort and create a sense of community.

Polymer Manufacturing Process

Process and experimentation of manufacturing polymer building materials to be used for the construction of the building in a home environment using basic equipment.

Polymer Prototypes

The two different prototypes investigate two different characteristics of plastic. On the left, the pieces with horizontal ridges study how the number of ridges affects the curve angle.
