E-waste is the fastest growing waste stream in the world, with both environmental and social consequences. This project investigates the potentials in recycling electronics and combines the industrial process of recycling with the human-centered at a local scale. Here the building itself is considered a medium for communicating the otherwise invisible forces that are shaping our digital world.

The program is based on the current supply chain of electronics, and creates a centralized place to purchase, repair, and disassemble electronics. The new functions are implemented as a transformation of an existing building in Copenhagen.
