My contribution explores what waste can mean for design if it is not immediately reformulated as a resource among others? Through theoretical studies, reference studies, and artistic explorations of trash, I have speculated on the architectural representation of waste’s subversive properties: its traces of demolition.

In the future, all architecture will consist of renewable materials or reused architecture. This thought-provoking work examines the potential of waste in a speculative scenario. Through beautiful drawings and model studies, the everyday elements like row house downpipes, glass wool, and sheet metal are transformed into new compositions and material flows. A possible future aesthetic is visualized.
