All architecture is but waste in transit.Peter Guthrie

dirt and waste are product of social classification
Where there is dirt, there is systemMartha Douglas
Where there is design, there is wasteZygmunt Bauman
In our culture, objects are assigned to one or other two overt categories, which I label transient and durable.Michael Thompson
CONSTRUCTION vs DEMOLITION
Leonia, Invisible CitiesItalo Calvino
The city of Leonia refashions itself every day: every morning the people wake between fresh sheets, wash with just-unwrapped cakes of soap, wear brand-new clothing, take from the latest model refrigerator still unopened tins, listening to the last-minute jingles from the most up-to-date radio.
On the sidewalks, encased in spotless plastic bags, the remains of yesterday's Leonia await the garbage truck. Not only squeezed tubes of toothpaste, blown-out light bulbs, newspapers, containers, wrappings, but also boilers, encyclopaedias, pianos, porcelain dinner services.
It is not so much by the things that each day are manufactured, sold, bought, that you can measure Leonia's opulence, but rather by the things that each day are thrown out to make room for the new.
So you begin to wonder if Leonia's true passion is really, as they say, the enjoyment of new things, and not, instead, the joy of expelling, discarding, cleansing itself of a recurrent impurity. The fact is that street cleaners are welcomed like angels.

AWARENESS
trash is not very visible
we assume we know where our trash comes from and how it is deposed
thinking of trash upsets us, it upsets order, it is matter-out-of-place
ARCHITECTURE AS THE MISSING LINK
What design tools are available to conceptualise, approach and shape urban environment?
By creating imagery, what is the agency of design in shaping the environment and technologies for its management?
What are social, political and ecological imperatives of waste management, how are they hidden by contemporary practices and how can design make them public?
Can alternative aesthetics and practice of waste management make trash a constructive component of the geographic imagination?
