BUILT ENVIRONMENT Architectural agenda for waste
Waste collection and recycling solu- tions are not normally at the top of an architect’s agenda in the design and layout of buildings. The result is that waste solutions are not generally integrated, rather they are add-ons that take up valuable space which could be used profitably for other things. Taylor is working to change this situation and establish waste handling as an integrated function of building design. The company has launched a publication Urban Solutions aimed at architects, planners and developers. The publication details the latest innovations in waste and recycling storage systems, providing aesthetic solutions for modern living that boost recycling rates, and are easy to incorpo- rate into building projects.
As well as boosting recycling rates, the solutions proposed by Taylor offer
economic benefits. They free-up space, which can be used for additional park- ing or dwelling, and reduce servicing costs for property management compa- nies and waste operators.
The solutions include Taylor Street and Taylor Node. Taylor Street creates a focal point for recycling, while avoid- ing the public’s negative connotations of waste. Ideal for new developments and high density housing, the Street is modular with a self-standing steel base. The Taylor Node is a mini-recycling centre, comprising of 4 x 800 litre containers, providing up to 3,200 litres of recycling the footprint of a parking space. An 800-litre unit can be posi- tioned in a corner, or two can be joined to wall, while three units can fit around a corner.
