Wasteland Exhibition
Eliminating waste by building with it
Industrialization and globalization have created the phenomena of waste and pollution which are generated in enormous volumes with major environmental, economic and human consequences as a result.
The Wasteland exhibition takes its point of departure in the necessary transition towards a sustainable approach to design, production and consumption. It involves a fundamental change regarding the concepts “raw materials” and “waste”.

The exhibition is showcasing the not-so-distant reality, where residues and waste are no longer seen as waste, but as the primary building materials in the development of our cities, homes and communities.
The exhibition is based on materials including plastic, brick, wood, concrete, glass, and metal, and displays the process of transforming them from residue into valuable resources of high architectural and aesthetic quality. It displays existing examples of sustainable ways for future growth and synergy between design, production, consumption, and resources.
Visitors are invited to experience the various applications of upcycled materials, from furniture and home decor to building facades and landscaping. They get a hands-on experience, where they can touch and feel the materials and learn about their unique properties and benefits.
