Right Business: A Singapore mall built on waste? How 680k chopsticks and 1,000 kilos of PET found new life
Manage episode 509963840 series 2467889
City Square Mall’s transformation is nothing short of radical.
680,000 bamboo chopsticks now line its ceilings and walls. Over a tonne of plastic bottles has been reborn as sleek panels. Four kilometres of salvaged timber live on as cladding and furniture.
Here, sustainability isn’t tucked away—it’s front and center, bold and impossible to miss.
The mastermind behind this vision? TA.LE Architects. Known for turning everyday materials into striking design, they prove that retail spaces can be both beautiful and sustainable.
So—could this be the future of malls everywhere? And what does it take to make green design impossible to ignore?
On The Right Business, Hongbin Jeong speaks with Liao Xiji, Associate Director, TA.LE Architects, to find out more.
