Plastic Reimagined: Material Agency & Circular Design explores the “afterlife” of plastic material, shifting the architectural focus from what plastic is to what it has the potential to become. This exhibition combines technology, design, and art.
Developed within a graduate design-research studio at the Georgia Institute of Technology, this project treats plastic waste as a frontier for architectural experimentation. Students sourced discarded materials such as HDPE and PLA from campus makerspaces and local recycling streams.
By merging hands-on fabrication with computational design, the studio transformed raw waste into a performative medium. The plastic was ground, reprocessed, and reconstituted, evolving from discarded scraps into sophisticated spatial forms.
