Pop Culture is a Colorful Canopy Made of 100’s of Recycled Bottles in Nebraska

Lincoln, Nebraska isn't known for being a hub of creativity or for recycling waste materials, which is why <a href="http://www.behance.net/garthitecture">Garth Britzman</a> opted to design a striking parking canopy entirely out of 1,500 used soda bottles. Named Pop Culture, this brilliant installation is comprised of hundreds of plastic bottles hanging from thread of different lengths, and filled at the bottom with different colored water. The installation calls attention to our consumer 'pop' culture and the urgent need to recycle our mass-produced goods.

1,500 recycled soda bottles were used to create "Pop Culture"

The bottles were suspended from thread of various lengths and partially filled up with colored water

Colored water at the bottom of the bottles gives the installation its wonderful color!

The project is designed to raise awareness about the need for recycling

University of Nebraska students helped with the installation

This is the 5.45am moving crew that put the canopy in place.
