“Why should contemplative space be outside of our everyday experience ?”
Solid Waste Transfer and Recycling Center - Singer and Glatt (1989 - 1993)
Michael Singer and Linnea Glatt were hired as artists by the Phoenix Arts Commission and the Department of Public Works to provide the architectural concept design for the 27th Avenue Solid Waste Transfer and Recycling Center
Public amphitheatre with views into the recycling building
Singer and Glatt’s design invites public involvement and understanding of recycling and waste issues in an infrastructure facility that would normally be closed to the public. Traditional designs of solid waste facilities promote expediency and a non-distinct design whose goal is to conceal the facility.
