WHAT A WASTE is a ./studio3 Design Build project in collaboration with the Heart of Noise Festival. The architectural conception takes the form of an assemblage, constructed from a pool of recycled materials.
Teacher ./studio3: Verena Rauch, Teresa Stillebacher.
WHAT A WASTE becomes a stage for a depository of found objects, remnants, toxicity, and non-utilizable. Totems made out from discarded items become cult objects, preserving, and challenging the memory of a throwaway society. The entire design-build process was realized as a collective attempt, with individual designs recurrently shared as open source for further modification by all students. This provoked a continuous emergence of new designs, combining architectural elements, objects and ideas. The course was structured as a vertical studio, encouraging collaboration between both bachelor and master students, inducing productive heterogeneity within the group. The process of recycling materials, combined with collective work, has generated a responsive methodology.The capability to consistently involve novel circumstances and opportunities, while navigating uncertainties, is perceived as a contemporary approach, addressing resource scarcity, circular economy, and recycling of construction material. Furthermore, this methodology facilitates a collective, interdisciplinary process in which an environment of equality throughout the entire workflow raises shared responsibility among all participants.
