Abstract [en]

Through the concept of slow design, particularly the principle of compressed refuse, the project aims to explore the potential of using temporary structures to store artificial waste. Moreover, it investigates the role of architects as community activators by creating spaces that propose questions and encourage dialogues.

This process, referred to as TimeCycling, involves abstracting materials from regular cycles, utilizing them as building materials for a limited time, and then reintegrating them into recycling processes, thus extending their lifespan and avoiding landfills.

I have proposed a building system for temporary structures, using discarded newspapers. The construction of a pavilion and furniture pieces made from newspapers serves both as a practical demonstration of sustainable construction techniques and a symbolic representation of democratic values.

By engaging the public in the building process, the project seeks to foster a sense of response-ability, encourage localized action, facilitate informal discussions, and promote knowledge sharing within the community.
