Embracing the Dirt
When did Waste stop being Useful?
From excavated earth and discarded tyres, this project builds more than just walls; it builds a challenge to everything we've learned to throw away. Reclaiming waste with Architecture is a confrontation with cultural discomfort, a refusal to let 'waste' end in silence. Here, dirt is not hidden, it is packed into tyres and stacked into strength. The architecture is formed from what was buried, polluted, and overlooked; materials saturated with stigma, are now repurposed as foundations of function.
This is not just architecture; it is resistance—against disposability, erasure, and the idea that newness is superior. Through soil, scrap, and shared effort, the project asks: What if the things we bury are the very things we need to build again?
