Pile > Church 
/ A temporary building entirely made from circular matter

Repurposing matter. Can a temporary church be built entirely out of materials that already exist in an established circular orbit?

 

Sheet pile walls, gravel from crushed bricks, cardboard waste, reused brick, steel road plates, reused and upcycled wood.

 

With this mantra as a starting point, the aim was to create something sculptural, something strongly connected to the story of the site and a sense of wonder when approaching and entering the brick pile.

 

In this project, the client would be able to swap material back to money for at least 10% of the invested value, the day they desided the temporary church should be replaced by a permanent one.
