Recycling
Design and architecture projects that repurpose materials, manage waste systems, and create circular economies through built environments.
Recycling in architecture and design encompasses strategies for material reuse, waste reduction, and circular systems thinking. Designers explore how buildings and spaces can be constructed from reclaimed or repurposed materials while addressing broader environmental and social challenges.The community examines waste infrastructure as design opportunity, from converting industrial sites into new programs to transforming trash into public spectacle. Projects range from pavilions built with upcycled components to systemic approaches that redefine how cities and institutions handle resources.
