Concluding Archipelago: DIY Open Source Recycling, from Plastic Bottles to Architecture
Channel: Justin Tyler Tate
Date: 2023-04-28

The open source methodology developed for ‘Archipelago’ is meant to be utilized by anyone, thereby creating islands of waste diversion as well as circular economies, existing outside of traditional modes of capitalism and environmental degradation. The work is not an object in itself, but a concept centered around sustainable design, social design and creative placemaking. The project means for its processes to be demystified and reproducible, existing both in physical and digital spaces. 

Archipelago addresses these issues through a 4 step system empowering individuals to recycle at home using a few specialized, but easy to produce or acquire, tools in combination with modular design.
