Abstract [en]
At the edge of the city of Eskilstuna lies an industrial ruin of a flower grower that's still inhabited by various businesses. In the place where the massive greenhouses once stood, now an vast open space of gravel and junk, a new industry and public center is built that puts the visitor in the center of the process of textile recycling, both by showing an industrial process of cotton recycling, as well as engaging them in the repair and creative reuse of their own clothes. By doing this, the visitors acquire a stronger connection to their role in the waste cycle as well as to each other.
Abstract [sv]
I utkanten av Eskilstuna ligger en industriell ruin från en snittblomsproducent som fortfarande används av diverse aktörer. På den plats där de massiva växthusen en gång stod, idag en stor öppen yta av grus och skräp, byggs en ny industri och folkets hus som sätter besökaren i centrum av en textilåtervinningsprocess, både genom att visa upp en industriell återvinning av bomullstyg, och genom att engagera dem i reparation och kreativt återbruk av sina egna kläder. På så sätt får besökarna en starkare koppling till sin plats i avfallskretsloppet, såväl som till varandra.
