Help Save the Gap Filler Shipping Pallet Pavilion in Christchurch, New Zealand!
The Gap Filler Pallet Pavilion in Christchurch, New Zealand, was built as a community space following devastating earthquakes. The recycled shipping pallet pavilion is an incredible facility, but unfortunately it was only ever funded for one year. The organizers have now turned to crowd sourcing to secure funding to keep it open for an additional year. In addition to being a stunning piece of shipping pallet architecture , the pavilion has been a positive beacon amongst the rubble. The people of Christchurch want the facility to stay, but it will take a global fundraising effort to make it happen – check out the crowdfunding campaign here and donate today ! + Pallet Pavilion Pledge Me Campaign + Gap Filler Pallet Pavilion Permalink | Add to del.icio.us | digg Post tags: “sustainable architecture” , Christchurch , Gap Filler Pallet Pavilion , green architecture , green design , New Zealand , pallet architecture , pallet pavilion , Recycled Materials , recycled shipping pallet , shipping pallet , sustainable design , Urban design

Ballroom Luminoso: San Antonio Freeway Underpass Transformed Into a Beautiful Gathering Space

Composed of six brilliantly lit, color-changing chandeliers, the sculptures are clad in recycled bike parts gleaned from bike co-ops and collectives across the country.

Reclamation Etchworks Creates Modern Spirit Decanters From Recycled Glass Bottles
Reclamation Etchworks creates modern day spirit decanters for your home bar by upcycling bottles collected in local San Francisco restaurants.

Any food that can’t be sold or donated will be transformed into energy to help run their distribution center in Compton.
