Zero Waste

Zero Waste

Teaching architects how to build a zero waste city.

How might architects build a zero-waste city? This was the question behind the Zero Waste Design Guidelines, a multi-part education project we designed in collaboration with the design studio Wkshps. Our work had many components, including a graphic identity, illustration and diagram system, website, and 200+ page digital publication.

We also led the design of a public exhibition about the Guidelines at Center for Architecture. Working closely with curator Andrew Blum, we modified and expanded our graphic identity to accommodate labels, wayfinding, supergraphics, diagrams and gallery guides. Waste management is an urban crisis, and we sought ways of showcasing that reality through larger-than-life infographics. To bring the issue to the forefront, we literally put trash on pedestals. The exhibition was accompanied by a full-day symposium, evening panels, and K-12 educational programming for local students.
