Whether shelves, tables, lamps or mattresses: Every year, around 2.5 million tons of bulky waste are generated in Germany. „Garbage“ that would not always necessarily have to be disposed of immediately, because the disposed items are often reusable or a valuable material resource. In order to take a closer look at this aspect and at the same time integrate the residents of the Nordweststadt housing estate into the process, students of social work and architecture organized a construction workshop in the Nordweststadt. Together they sawed, hammered and sewed and turned our consumer behavior upside down. The resulting projects, new furniture, musical instruments, a tea pavilion and much more will be on display at the WASTELAND exhibition from January 21, 2023 – January 26, 2023
