Recycled Superstructure Designs

The Scrap Skyscraper by Projeto Coletivo Finds Green Solutions

The Scrap Skyscraper by Projeto Coletivo is a bizarre new building design that is made competely from pieces of trash. This building will be located in São Paulo, Brazil, and the project's plan is to revolutionize the way people see green architecture.

Projecto Coletivo wanted to show people a new way to turn a trash problem into a solution by making garbage something new and meaningful. This unique and innovative design breaks the traditional rules of architecture and construction.

São Paulo is the largest city in Brazil and it is currently dealing with serious pollution, traffic and social inequality issues. Only one percent of its garbage is recycled, and this design seeks to find new answers to these issues.
