1 week agoArquivo: Deconstruction and Material Reuse for a Circular Architecture
The construction industry must embrace sustainable solutions through deconstruction and reuse to combat waste and energy consumption.
In a captivating showcase at Paris Fashion Week, Dongjoon Lim unveiled the highly anticipated FW26 collection from POST ARCHIVE FACTION (PAF). Titled Drifter, this collection artfully encapsulates the essence of movement and transition, inviting us to explore the delicate balance between the past and the future. At its core, Drifter is a poignant reflection on the act of drifting, a condition in which old archives evolve, and the allure of new classics takes shape.
As rising emissions targets collide with shrinking material supplies and the growing urgency of climate commitments, the built environment is being forced into a deeper reckoning with how it consumes, circulates, and discards resources. What was once considered waste is now revealing itself as a dormant architectural archive, an urban ecosystem of materials waiting to be reclaimed, revalued, or reimagined.
To Kill a Wolf, directed by Kelsey Taylor, is a deconstruction of 'Little Red Riding Hood' that omits traditional elements and focuses on deeper themes rather than horror or supernatural elements.
