Annotation on slide mount 'Ashley Phillips 3rd year show 2000 DAPA/ CCAD Faye Carey'.
Note from former student Ashley Phillips: "5,000 plastic bottles, collected (harvested) from the ground at the London marathon in April 2000.
Held together by 40,000 rubber bands, structured in triangular blocks making pentagons and hexagons highlighting ‘sustainable structures from waste’, and ‘design for disassembly’. The in-situ site was Lilley road recreation ground in hammersmith, a park that had once been orchids for the city of London;
It would be nice to see the project added to the Curated sustainability exhibition too as it was pretty ahead of its time and is all about sustainability. I found the images in there currently, rather odd and unexplained
The London marathon and Vitell had no recycling policy and would not take responsibility for the waste, no producer responsibility; it was left to the councils to deal with, many of whom did not have adequate plastic recycling facilities and much of the plastic went to land fill."
