Recycling plant
The recycling plant combines a heterogeneous rubbish selecting and processing complex, storage, workshops and offices, all beneath a vast green inclined roof which echoes the gravitational nature of the process as well as the original hillside on which it sits, re-established thanks to an ultra-light structure. The compost produced is being used for the green roof. Its volume is wrapped in recycled polycarbonate which unifies the different programs and incorporates a museum area with a display intended to encourage people’s environmental awareness. The green roof, the polycarbonate, the lightweight bolted structure and the set of interior facings manifest this spirit. All those ingredients form a constructive system that shows the highest environmental commitment that can be currently obtained using techniques available on the market. The facility has a life cycle of 25 years. After that time it can be recycled as an amenity for the park surrounding it by that time or be dismantled by recycling its components.
