Scope

Sustainability-focused pavilion concept

Bottle STOP is a pavilion designed for the Chicago Architecture Biennale Competition.

In order to promote recycling along Chicago’s Lakefront Trail, and call attention to pollution in Lake Michigan, Best Practice devised a pavilion that uses crowd-sourced plastic drinking bottles to make a canopy that shades a small retail space. 8,000 bottles total make up this screen, which when lit acts as a beacon along the trail.
