What if we can make it into a sustainable cycle by connecting two ends, turn the kitchen waste into mycelium brick for architecture, biofuel for garbage truck, heat for green houses, and clean water for firefly restoration. We add some different programs into this new waste to energy plant, such as science institute, NGOs, product design firms, start-up incubator... and also a restaurant supported by the food grown by the machine in the greenhouse. We design two interlocking dounut-like masses, running in and out the original building. And use colors to differentiate the target user of each space.
