dc.description.abstractPlastic was a blessing as an invention. It has bought the world many conveniences and wonderful new experiences. However, it has built up to become a threat, not only to human beings but, more so to the other creatures on the planet. This material has been designed to be long-lasting. But Ironically now we are seeking for solutions to hide and destroy those ever-lasting materiality. What is exactly is plastic? How many types are there? How can we recycle more? Can we reuse plastic and how can we reuse it? This thesis will focus on answering those questions but in a very theoretical way. However, my effort has been to offer architectural solutions in a very realistic way. Because it is my passionate belief that in the near future, the potential of plastic will be evident in real life, and we will be able to say, plastic, is actually a great invention not only just for the efficiency of human beings, but also for the environment.
