1000 Recycled Doors Transform the Facade of a 10-Story Building in Seoul
South Korean Artist Choi Jeong-Hwa used 1000 brightly colored recycled doors to transform a bland 10-story building into an eye-popping visual indulgence. Jeong-Hwa is a master of using found objects to make provocative spaces, and the project is one of his most ambitious attempts to place normal things in an extraordinary way. The doors stretch up the scaffolding of the mid-rise, giving the hulking mass a pixelated charm.
Burton Street Peace Garden’s Learning Pavilion Was Built From Recycled Materials for $3,900
This interactive learning pavilion made from discarded objects found on-site was built during a 10 week design-build course this last summer in Asheville, North Carolina. Students from three regional universities (North Carolina State, Appalachian State and Virginia Tech) worked in conjunction with the Asheville Design Center to build the pavilion for the Peace Gardens. The pavilion utilizes solar passive design and rainwater harvesting, and it is currently used by the community for education programs and workshops. Giant Texaco signs, ironing boards, windows, screens and other found objects decorate the artistic and functional shed, which cost less than $4,000 to build.
