Entry Description

The Urban Transistor project aims to transform landfill sites by reviving unusable land through new facilities. This facility can be helpful for the city and its people because of securing more land to live in. Instead of waiting for natural biodegradation over thousands of years, the project focuses on recycling landfill resources to create construction materials and distribute them through han-river waterways. This sustainable approach promotes nationwide influence and forms vibrant cities on once-encroached land, benefiting the environment and society.
