WASTE/WORKS: Under-mining architecture
Representation elective seminar

Construction in its current form has been known as a growth industry reliant on extractive practices, on-demand materials, and cultures of demolition. With landfills bursting at the seams with the stuff of buildings, it is no longer enough for the work of architecture to remain insulated at the front end of the supply chain.

WASTE/WORKS seeks to revalue materials differently, through digital and physical means. By attending to the debris, offcuts, stockpiles, and secondary material economies of architecture, WASTE/WORKS dreams of a post-extraction world where product is not the key economic driver, but rather, practices that act on waste systems and reorient material relations through aesthetic registers.
