The document outlines the major project 'Upcycle' which focuses on addressing continual waste generation in the fashion and furniture sectors through concepts like upcycling and designing for deconstruction. It highlights statistics related to waste in construction, particularly in New Zealand, and the importance of reusing and recycling materials. Additionally, it discusses architectural considerations and site analysis for a creative space, promoting sustainable practices in retail and design.

2. EXTRACTION PRODUCTION DISTRIBUTION DISPOSAL CONSUMPTION ? This project addresses how we contribute to continuous waste in the pursuit of fashionable interiors, clothing and furniture. In return it offers a response through the notion of up cycling and building for re-design . Up cycling is a process of repurposing old materials in new ways to increase their value making it more desirable than it was originally. Building for re-design is building with deconstruction in mind, the building is therefore easier to maintain and adapt to new users. Materials Economy Diagram from the story of stuff Consumerism is a social and economical order that creates a desire to purchase goods and services. CONCEPT

3. In New Zealand the overall waste generated from the construction and demolition sector is estimated at around 50% of waste to landfill. In 1995, approximately 3,156,000 tonnes of solid waste was disposed of in landfills. In 2006, approximately 3,180,000 tonnes of solid waste were deposited into landfills. Each year, the U.S. building industry generates 136 million tons of waste. 9% comes from new construction 38% comes from renovation, 53% comes from demolition. 80-90% of construction and demolition waste is estimated to be either reusable or recyclable. Only 20-30% of this waste is presently recycled. The latest environmental statistics state New Zealand as being 4 th out of a total of 29 countries with the highest Pollution, Municipal Waste per capita. Municipal solid waste is a waste type that includes both commercial and domestic Buildings impact the environment and community through resource consumption, air pollution, and waste generation.

8. HISTORY OF: My site is no. 08 Egmont Street Te Aro Wellington. It is a heritage building located in an historical industrial site. Built in approximately in the 1920’s and originally owned by T & W. Young, today it is better known as the Bond Store apartments. The building changed ownership a number of times but up until the 1980s this warehouse was consistently used for various manufacturing purposes such as Lees & Co who sold ladies coats and Brundson & Co who sold slippers. During the 1990s the top floor was transformed into unit workshops and studios, which were leased at a modest rate to arts and crafts practitioners. It is a historical industrial site that embraces constant change, as similar industrial buildings in this area, no.8 Egmont street was converted into apartments in 1999. SITE no.8
