'What a Waste'- Student Collaborative Project

Email: emer.byrne@tudublin.ie

Only 6% of the employed population work within the construction industry yet a staggering 48% of all waste generated comes from this sector. By working in a cross disciplinary manner, architecture & property economics students we will question the role the construction industry plays in climate change & sustainable practices.

Students will collaborate with the Demolition Take Down public installation & will research, record and disseminate this unique project tackling the core causes of demolition.

Led by lecturers Emer Byrne, Miriam Delaney, Laura Carroll & Ciaran Molumby, students across both programmes will explore together demolition waste through the lens of value; cultural, financial & carbon values.
