Debris Movers

Building on the historical context of post-WWII debris removal in Poland, my master’s thesis addresses construction and demolition waste in contemporary Warsaw. To initiate systemic change, I propose repurposing an existing landfill and its surrounding area as a testing ground for a new approach to debris disposal. By redirecting material flows to this site on the city’s outskirts, I aim to create a park composed of debris deposits. The site offers an opportunity to transform a neglected area into a space for residents and the broader Warsaw community. Designed for perpetual transformation, the park will never be “finished.” It will evolve with the climate, seasons, vegetation, and human activities while serving as a repository of historical construction materials, documenting their use and persistence over time.
