The main intentions of the SnP project are the reuse and the flexibility, firstly of the material and secondly of the geometry. The idea of reuse of material is achieved in the project by upcycling plastic waste into new building components. Moreover, as the material is light weight, the transportation of the elements is facilitated and encourages the reuse and flexibility of the project. The plastic elements are connected only by interlocking or point to point connection and do not require any other fixing or binding method. Correspondingly, the assembly and disassembly of the geometry can be done very easily where the components can be reused endlessly. The flexibility of the geometry is therefore achieved by creating structures with different use and function coping with upcycling to turn something used, old or unwanted into something valuable and, at the same time results into a multi-directional design that builds upon innovative design issues.
