Offener Ideenwettbewerb
Wettbewerbsaufgabe
Tomb of Waste beabsichtigt, eine kraftvolle und poetisch architektonische Installation zu schaffen, die das Bewusstsein über die Auswirkungen von Plastikmüll auf unserem Planeten erhöht. Die Installation soll die öffentliche Aufmerksamkeit fesseln und die Wahrnehmung der Menschen erhöhen, indem sie Einwegkunststoff als wertvolles, vielseitiges und zugängliches Material fördert, das zur kreativen Umgestaltung unserer bebauten Umwelt verwendet werden kann.
Der Tomb of Waste Wettbewerb sollte ein Objekt schaffen, um der Welt die Folgen der Wegwerfkultur aufzuzeigen. Er sollte das Konzept der Abfallmaterialien ausrotten und das Bewusstsein für unseren eigenen verschwenderischen Verbrauch von Einwegkunststoff schärfen. Das architektonische Design sollte eine wichtige Rolle bei der Unterstützung der Kreislaufwirtschaft von recycelten Kunststoffmaterialien spielen, um Kunststoff im Versorgungskreislauf und aus unseren Ökosystemen fernzuhalten.
Der Wettbewerb sollte die Beziehung zwischen Nachhaltigkeit und Architektur neu überdenken, entgegen dem allgemeinen Verständnis von Nachhaltigkeit als kosmetisches Anliegen. Ziel des Wettbewerbs ist es, eine Ikone zu entwerfen, die Nachhaltigkeit als Werkzeug für kritisches Denken erforscht. Die Installation sollte eine immersive und symbolische Wirkung auf den Kontext haben und danach streben, ein starker Bezugspunkt zu werden.
Competition assignment
Tomb of waste aims to create a powerful and a poetic architectural installation that raises awareness about the impact of plastic waste on our planet. The installation should captivate public attention and elevate people’s perception by promoting single use plastic as a valuable, versatile and an accessible material that can be used to creatively transform our built environment.
Tomb of waste competition should create an object to show the world the consequences of disposable culture. It should eradicate the concept of ‘waste materials’ and raise awareness of our own wasteful consumption of single use plastic. Architectural design should play an important role in supporting the circular economy of recycled plastic materials thus keeping plastic in the supply loop and out of our ecosystems.
The competition should rethink the relationship between sustainability and architecture contrary to the common understanding of sustainability as a cosmetic concern. The competition aims at designing an icon that explores sustainability as a tool for critical thinking. The installation should have an immersive and symbolic impact on the context and should strive to become a strong reference point.

TOMB OF WASTE
Let’s kill plastic!
MANIFESTO
Plastic has a huge contribution in the making of the modern man. It has revolutionized human activity and living because of its versatility as a material. It made space travels possible. It has revolutionized medicine. Daily, it saves millions of people making food resources safe and accessible to the poorest populations of the planet. Modern life is addicted to and dependent on this versatile substance, which is found in everything from cars, planes, computers and equipment to clothes made of polyester and nylon, to the adhesive seal on most teabags.
Since 1950’s, plastic production has almost outpaced that of almost every other material. Much of the plastic we produce is designed to be thrown away after being used only once. As a result, plastic packaging accounts for about half of the plastic waste in the world. Our ability to cope with plastic waste is already overwhelmed. By nature, plastic waste is indestructible and currently there is an incalculable amount of it on the planet. Human beings are losing the fight against plastic waste.
Every year, we produce around 300 million tons of plastic waste. That’s nearly equivalent to the weight of the entire human population. Of a ‘mere’ 9.2 billion tons of plastic to deal with, more than 6.9 billion tons have become waste. And of that waste, a staggering 6.3 billion tons never made it to a recycling bin. An astounding 8 million tons of plastic ends up in the world’s oceans every year. If current trends continue, our oceans could contain more plastic than fish by 2050.
However, plastic is and never was the real enemy. What is needed is not a world without plastic. What is needed now is a revolutionized awareness about waste management and the way it is practiced. Our materialistic society has created a problem of consumption and a destructive cycle of overuse. Architecture should lead by example and generate awareness about recycling waste and sustainable practices that can make way for a utopian setup.
