Smokey Mountain of Metro Manila emerged as a product of decades of waste disposal and top-down negligence, cultivating in haphazard conditions for unplanned settlements and environmental crisis. The following represents an architectural network of structures and facilities, each programmatically serving a different gap and need in the community to build resilient local infrastructure for climate justice, education, shelter, waste management, and other socio- economic, environmental, urban, and political systems. The proposed community upcycling center includes the functions of the typical recycling facility- tipping, processing, and storage. But the center also cultivates opportunities for education, enterprise, and elimination simultaneously- through recycling training workshops, laboratories to harness research in materials and optimal treatment practices, a makerspace for artisans to create products made from recycled materials, and multi-purpose spaces for an open market to sell preloved goods, as well as crafts made by local businesses in the community.
