House 7B: Flushing / Vlissingen Harvest map: 2012Architecten 2012Architecten believe that the growing scarcity of oil and raw materials will encourage us to mine local materials and put them to use in multiple cycles. This renewed appreciation for what is available locally could become a breeding ground for new trades and region-bound architecture. In order to understand what is available in a certain region, they produce harvest maps. |
At Pioneers of Change, their rooms are filled with typical
building materials of New York, with the quantity
representing the amount available each month. In a workshop, the
public is invited to build with these materials, guided by the
Green Worker Cooperative and 2012Architecten. About 2012Architecten |
