Trash Tectonics

Master of Architecture Thesis Study - Everyday materials and products are engineered to outlive their life cycles; accumulating in landfills and polluting our environment with few alternate outputs. Materials are broken down, reshaped, and rebuilt everyday instead of just being reused. Trash is unfortunately a part of everyday life, but with newer innovations and technology its usages are constantly being redefined and developed. This study will examine the possibility of altering these detrimental practices, creating instead longer life cycles and spans for everyday materials.
