Trend Hunter may have featured recycled- and trash-based architecture before, but none of them reached the scale that the House of Contamination has. More of a village than a house, it is a massive garbage art installation.
Conceived by Raumlabor, the House of Contamination is part of this year's Artissima International Art Fair. Made up of everything from used clothing to discarded electronics, this temporary structure will house other installations within its trashy walls.
