This angular, lime green structure is so unique that you might peg it as a museum or eccentric home - but it's actually a garbage collection center. Acting as a giant "urban stomach," the facility gathers waste from neighboring areas, compacts it and prepares for it to be taken to other recycling plants. Designed by Vaillo + Irigaray, the building isn't just a starting point for recycling - its distinctive facade is also made of aluminum, a recycled material.
