-EDITORIAL PICK of Waste Pavilion Competition

To create the pavilion 3D print method was used. HDPE plastic was used as printing filament, which is an excellent substitute for the original one. This type of plastic is very popular, it is commonly used to produce bottle cap or trash bags. The pavilion consists of several segments assembled together on construction site. The pavilion’s form is intended to resemble a coral reef, as a reminder that the plastic present in the ocean is responsible for the death of many living things, including the coral reefs that are home to them.
