The PET Pavilion, designed by the construction companies Project.DWG and LOOS.FM, is a temporary building in a Dutch community park. The pavilion focuses on sustainable building, recycling and waste by rethinking the way it is built, developed and used. The building itself is a study of plastic waste as a building material.
The building used the high-profile architecture of the Vansworth house for reference, which is designed by Mies van der Rohe. Two layers of transparent plastic corrugated board are covered with more than 40,000 plastic bottles from the floor to the ceiling, which are connected to support the device.
In addition to providing “sustainable” solutions, the PET Pavilion focuses on discovering new possibilities and strives to become an educational tool. For example, these large numbers of plastic bottles have been used in materials recycling building projects.
As an exemplary building of sustainable development, the designer hopes that those who come to see the salvage materials will come up with a series of questions about where the waste will eventually be taken or how they will be used. The question will bring a series of reflection thinking to the visitors.
