DESIGN FOR RESOURCES
The project meticulously weighs factors such as
distance and recyclability in its thorough
material selection process. By sourcing materials
from local salvage yards, it not only minimizes
carbon emissions associated with transportation
but also breathes new life into reclaimed resources,
championing sustainability and circularity. Moreover,
the project stands as a beacon of equitable labor
practices, prioritizing local sourcing for all its
workforce needs. This commitment not only fosters
community empowerment but also ensures fair
treatment and opportunities for all involved. In its
relentless pursuit of sustainability, the project embraces
a zero-waste ethos, ensuring that all materials
selected are either recyclable or can be repurposed
into new forms. By championing resource e昀케ciency
and innovation, it sets a precedent for responsible
stewardship of our environment. Furthermore, the
project pays homage to the rich heritage of New
York City by celebrating local materials and
craftsmanship. Through the incorporation of materials
salvaged from historic buildings that once graced the
iconic skyline, it honors the city's architectural legacy
while forging a path towards a more sustainable
future.
