It was also this week that a new idea
came into my mind: the notion of upcycling. Rather than simply creating a
recycling city, could I create one that is so careful about what it throws out
and keeps that it can actually create an economy around the recycling culture.
The idea is that workshops will exist in which recycled products are re-used
and made into art, homes, furniture, and other objects that can then be sold
off within Athens.
Along with the notion of upcycling, I created a short book
similar to that of the rooftop culture from earlier in the year. The booklet
shows examples of how different materials have been used in art upcycling.
The question now is to consider how can this be more than just an art form? Could I redefine the meaning of upcycling for architecture?
