The Miele Space Station was a pilot project to develop methods for making architecture from waste. Old washing machines are great, but the Dutch agency 2012 Architects takes it further and brings a catalogue of waste materials available at www.recyclicity.net
"The objective of Recyclicity is to promote re-use of waste material for construction applications with as little added energy as possible for transport and processing of materials."
Instead of chopping and melting waste to anonymous base-material, they use the unique identity of the waste-material. Example projects at the website prove how working with waste in its primary form opens doors for innovative applications and unexpected design. You've got my support guys!
