Plastic Pavilion

Plastic Pavilion is a 16-square meter undulating canopy made of 1600 recycled plastic bottles filled with coloured water. Inspired by stained glass windows, the multi-coloured mosaic mural transforms a public space into a serene oasis and encourages people to slow down and enjoy a sensory experience.

The project uses the power of stimulating architectural design to captivate public attention and raise awareness of the wasteful consumption of single-use plastic bottles. Meanwhile, a new narrative emerges that aims to eradicate the concept of ‘waste materials’. The installation elevates people’s perception of everyday plastics by promoting it as a beautiful, valuable, versatile and accessible material that can be used to creatively transform our built environment. In doing so, it addresses the important role architectural design plays in supporting the circular economy of recycled plastic materials thus keeping plastic in the supply loop and out of our ecosystems.
