Recycled Ruin explores how designers and architects repurpose industrial sites, landfills, and abandoned structures into new buildings and landscapes. Projects in this topic demonstrate strategies for material reuse, adaptive reuse of existing structures, and the conversion of waste into design resources.

The community examines how ruins and discarded materials become catalysts for urban regeneration, from converting factory compounds into cultural spaces to reassembling derelict buildings and designing pavilions from salvaged materials. Work here addresses both the practical and conceptual dimensions of building with what already exists.
