To draw attention to the relationship between humans and the incredible amount of waste we produce every day, the guys from the Salzig Design studio in Holland built this temple using 100 tons of recycled plastic bottles.
The Temple of Trash is a temporary structure, and was built in Rotterdam, Holland for the 2007 Follydock Festival. The Temple is 25 meters long, 10 meters wide and 7 meters tall.
What would researchers of the future say if they came across this temple while conducting their excavations?

This creation by artist Yuken Teruya gave us an idea for what to do with the cardboard toilet paper cylinders that Juliana and I have been saving for the past few months. We have already saved 30 cardboard cylinders that will be used to decorate our home, just as in Yuken’s project. Another cool suggestion, made by our friend Denise Rangel, is to reuse the rolls as wire holders.

Project led by the architects from NL, reunited 100 trees in 100 shopping carts in a square, for the Urban Play event, in Amsterdam, Holland. The carts were put in a way, to block people from doing their usual way, forcing them to divert and walk in the middle of the mobile forest.
All of the trees, after the event ended (which lasted six weeks), have been donated, so, any person could grab a cart and take the tree home or plant in any urban space.
The Urban Play event is an international project organized by Droog Design, created and curated by Scott Burnham and presented as part of ExperimentaDesign Amsterdam 2008.
