This wall is a time machine. It is an artwork constructed of pieces from previous buildings, all found on site-from 16,000 years ago to today.
Material reuse is a means to create local labor opportunities and to invest in salvaged site materials, diverting them from the landfill.
Creative reuse also reduces the need for outside resources; reduces the purchase of mass-produced and distributed goods of questionable origin; and reduces reliance and transport of fossil fuels.
