As a San Diego Interior Designer, I have read that the Europeans were very interested in recycling. The question is -was this fact or fiction .
One of the surprises was how the trash was separated. Here is the attached photo - as we know a picture is worth a 1,000 words. As you can see, there are 6 containers, metal, glass, waste, organics, paper, and plastics!
In addition, I now realize that Europeans take carbon footprint very seriously and as Americans and especially interior designers, interior decorators, interior design firms need to take the lessons from the Europeans.
As architects and designers it is our job to take into account the complete lifecycle of products that are we use in our design ands specify usage of materials. I would like to compliment the World Architecture Festival and for Barcelona Convention Center CCCB at Diagonal Mar for providing leadership to architects and interior designers at this festival.
