AAP's Ecological Action Lab Highlights Plastic and Water Waste with Tallinn Architecture Biennale Sculpture

Currently on display, the Friendship WC (Water Chandelier) is an architectural exhibit largely built out of Friendship Bottles — plastic water containers that have been designed to be reused as construction material — arranged as candles in a chandelier. The project seeks to shine light on the dual dilemma of global water scarcity and the relentless growth of plastic pollution.

Best Designed By Doing: Radical Hybrid Thinking Across Disciplines

In 2019, as part of the new pilot collaboration between the College of Architecture, Art, and Planning (AAP) and Cornell Tech, colleagues came together across disciplines to explore innovative ways of teaching and thinking about design and technology. Three years later, having gained a wealth of experience to reflect upon and celebrate, they are poised to take their ideas even further.
