Like some great magnet for debris "The Big Crunch" by Raumlabor is a recycled building made from a heap of discarded objects. The mound of materials is condensed in a theater plaza from all over the area, seemingly to move like a small wave cresting on the Georg-Büchner-Platz grounds in Darmstadt, Germany. Made from cast away household materials ranging from fridges to windows, furniture, and doors, the installation is a stormy, absurdist habitation.
Thank goodness the open air debris garden is still intact.
This is a terrific idea to start people re-thinking about consumption and conservation. Check out the plastic bottle green house at http://www.bluerockstation.com. Clean garbage buildings immitate nature and look cool.
Wow! This project makes me not want to buy anything that can be recycled. I imagine this isn’t even just one person’s waste over a life span. It’s important to be aware of all the different ways you can recycle or discard of unwanted items properly. For example if you just dump you old electronics they can end up being shipped off to a developing country and further contaminating our earth. I have found these sites useful for alternative methods of recycling and discarding unwanted materials http://northstarmoving.com/blog/2011/green_moving/
At first glance I thought this was hit by a hurricane! This is amazingly unique idea!
I think this is a good installation, its shows the beauty in junk.
I approve of material reusage to the point where as a construction professional I always abide deconstruction rather than demolition.. With that said, this monstrosity is an eyesore and a liability. One strong wind and who knows how much dangerous debris could be launched from that pile.
… some ideas can be uniquely bad and lazy. the interiors are so busy that I chat I would not be able to find my bed there. Besides, a passing breeze would probably blow me away.
