Design not only serves the practical needs of society but also gives form to its shared aspirations. Invited by the city of Zurich in the design competition for a new recycling centre with the challenge to design from a predefined catalogue of recovered materials.
The public program is expanded with generous sorting facilities for material up-cycling, designed over an open, mixed-use hall with a 34m roof span. Bundled, tied and bolted appropriate materials into hybrid structural elements designed for disassembly, aiming to move from simply recycling toward circular construction.
