Waste Not, Want Not

WNWN is a research project led by JT Bachman, Assistant Professor of Architecture at the University of Virginia School of Architecture and Co-Founder of Office of Things. The mission is to reduce the amount of waste that goes to landfill by reprocessing discarded materials and transforming them into either new building material prototypes or long-lasting functional objects. The research began as a study over the Summer of 2023, and the exploration carried over into a course called Processing the Anthropocene.
