| summary |
The 2016 US Environmental Protection Agency reported that 23.1 million tons of broken pieces of concrete waste are annually discarded from new construction sites (EPA -2) and in example states in the north american context only 6.6% of C&D concrete is recycled; the rest is thrown out in landfills as it is labeled “contaminated or too hard to process on a large scale.” (CT DOE 25) Relatively little investigation has occurred in how this material could reappear in the architectural project that might honor its intrinsic broken quality as a part of its materiality within a life-cycle of continual usage. This project speaks towards a problematic Habit of the Anthropocene in how we construct buildings placing intrinsic cultural value on new parts over the broken and old due to economic efficiencies. |
