This was a theoretical design project undertaken during my final year of BSc in Architecture at the University of Bath in 2015. The project attempted to address the issues of throwaway culture, consumerism, social inequality and cultural ignorance by bringing the question of waste to the centre of people’s consciousness.
It was driven by the poor state of wastes industry and the thrown-away condition of Weston-super-Mare, (North Somerset, England) both socially and culturally.
The building accommodates various processes of waste treatment, remaking and recycling, as well as the upcycling of people through employment. The main process in the building is the refining of general waste, which happens within the building façade in order to expose the industry’s challenges and to stimulate the residents to change their attitudes towards waste.
