“Plastic Magnet”

The Plastic Magnet is a plastic recycling dog park that promotes a culture of making and remaking around post-consumer plastic using the most convincing marketers in the neighborhood: dogs. This looping of plastic’s life cycle is achieved by converting it into modular building components that can be assembled and disassembled endlessly into new lives at different scales. When the lot finds permanent use, all the products generated can be sold on location and the ‘park’ can be disassembled for later assembly in other vacant lots.
