Borrowed Material: UMAR in a Children’s Book!
Kate McMillan presents 15 environmentally conscious buildings from all over the world in her beautiful and informative picture book “Sustainable Structures” – and our lighthouse project UMAR is one of them! In loving illustrations, the author explains the various “borrowed” materials of the material depot and the idea behind the Swiss project.
The design of the experimental Urban Mining & Recycling (UMAR) facility by Werner Sobek with Dirk E. Hebel and Felix Heisel shows how the responsible use of our resources and appealing architecture can be combined.
