“Waste can be considered the
essence of the Anthropocene,
embodying humans’ ability to
affect the environment to the
point of transforming it into
a gigantic dump.
For this reason I have argued
that this new epoch might be
called the Wasteocene
(Armiero and De Angelis 2017).
However, the Wasteocene
frames waste not as an object –
‘waste’ – but as a relation –
‘wasting’.”
prof. Marco Armiero
4. How do we metabolize our
uncomfortable memories
in order to contribute to the
evolution of cultural and urban
transformation processes?

The newsstand becomes a small hub
combining a free wi-fi hotspot, a charging
point for smartphones and tablets, a bike
sharing station and a waste collection
center.

The new social relations also contribute to
countering the crisis in the printed paper.
