Creative salvage

WASTE ARCHITECTURE, Environmentally sustainable DESIGN

Creative Salvage incorporates a waste architecture typology focused on reversing the wasteful tendencies within the creative faculties of Monash University’s Caulfield Campus. Waste is a critical global issue common to all urban areas and institutions. Wastes have typically been handled by relocating them to other places. As a result, waste has now gone beyond an environmental issue to a political issue in Australia.

The solution is a student pavilion exhibition space, to host unneeded creative works which would otherwise be disposed at the end of the semester. The space also promotes a cycle of materials to be resourced and reused. Ultimately this will help promote and normalise the re-use, up-cycling recycling, and recovery of materials.
