The idea of sustainable living has been used more and more in the past decade. This concept I feel is still in a fragile state because of the high consumer society we live in today. At this point though it looks like the battle could go either way with President Obama signing the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act today in Denver, Colorado. Signing the Act in this area was purposely done to encourage people to start thinking green, Denver is one of the leading green friendly cities in the U.S. Within all the green cities you will find some common ground; the city and park planning. Architecture is taking on a whole new form with city planning. My main focus though is the urban parts of cities where city planning has taken a drastic downfall.
As I walk from Temple Campus to my house on 29th and Poplar it is not uncommon to see mounds of trash in empty lots where kids used to play. I think to myself why not take that trash and lot and make something better from it. There are many forms of Recycled art all through out Philadelphia, and I will present these to you as time continues to move on.
