Hundreds of tons of waste is produced in San Francisco every day. Could this garbage represent an invaluable resource-if only we could rethink its design and purpose?
In this hands-on workshop, led by Felix Heisel and Marta H. Wisniewska of ETH Zurich, participants investigate the concept of upcycling and develop strategies to minimize the overall refuse produced. At the end of the day, a prize will be awarded to the proposal that most successfully offers second life cycles for what would otherwise become trash.
