On Tuesday, 24 September, the University of Valencia opens at 20:30 hours, the exhibition 'Rehogar', in the Botanic Garden. In the fifth edition, ‘Rehogar 5. Soluciones para el hábitat a partir de residuos’ (Rehogar 5. Solutions for habitat from waste), organized annually by the collective Makea Tu Vida emphasizes the potential of design to use wastes as raw materials for new products demonstrating that another design is possible.
In this edition, 'Fry' moved to the facilities of the Botanical Garden of the University of Valencia and its philosophy proposed the challenge of turning or reuse the old building of the Botanical Research in the exhibition space of this sample, which will run until next November 24.
The human being is in a moment of history in which the world's population produces an uncontrolled amount of waste. The current so induced obsolescence of products in general and particular habitat objects causes a waste of resources available on the planet. Everyday hundreds of users decide that the lifetime of an object has ended and throw without considering what happens next with the waste.
This reality highlights the need to raise the projects not only from an economic perspective, but also from a social and ecological awareness. The role of designers in this process is to bring creativity and technical know-how.
Rethinking home and lifestyle, proposing practical solutions to the everyday life, accessible to anyone, especially reproducible and environmentally friendly.
The exhibition offers a journey through contemporary habitat in which all objects depart from their waste to their building: from reusing materials and using of recycled and recyclable materials, to objects that encourage reuse and recycle.
The substantial difference is not always noticeable at first sight is that all the furniture and accessories are made with residues rescued after their first life to give them a new role. More than fifty objects built and designed by groups of designers, artists and architects to recreate the peculiar home, however, possible.
An exhibition designed to spread a culture of reusing, showing a way to make furniture and see the residue as raw material to find a new way to create your own designs constructively. A design coupled with environmental awareness, which proposes solutions to everyday problems, emphasizing that sustainability and comfort need not be dissociated.
An exhibition, besides being playful and surprising proposes a transformation. A games of personification of objects, which makes them feel like themselves while are revalued and become something unique.
An invitation for the visitor to take note and rethink the design of your home and your lifestyle through examples, daring to experiment with what he/she finds.
