Voice 2 
On one end of the cathedral, there are coloured windows, based on the beautiful windows in the old cathedral. The design also includes eight recycled metal shipping containers. The temporary cathedral is large - more than 700 people can sit inside. The building is also beautiful and strong. The temporary Christchurch cathedral could last up to 50 years! Ban designed it to be safe during future earthquakes. The materials did not cost a lot of material. And when the new, permanent, cathedral is finished, the cardboard cathedral can be recycled!

Next, we travel to Taiwan, to the EcoArk. This building was built for the 2010 Taipei Flora Exhibition, a large plant show. Arthur Huang led the design of the EcoArk. The EcoArk building is large – 24 metres high. It is also strong. It had to resist wind, earthquakes and fire. But Huang did not use the usual building materials. Instead, he used recycled plastic bottles, called POLLI-Bricks.
Voice 2 
Huang started the company that makes POLLI-Bricks. First, they take old plastic bottles. Then, they melt and re-form these plastic bottles into a new shape: POLLI-Bricks! POLLI-Bricks look a little like a plastic bottle. Each brick even has a top that people can remove. But the bricks also have grooves cut into the side. These grooves make it possible to fit the bricks together. They do not need glue, or anything else, to keep them together. The fit is tight and the bricks do not move.

Voice 1 
To build the EcoArk, Huang used material from one and a half million old bottles. He built the POLLI-Bricks around a steel frame. The clear POLLI-Bricks are perfect for plants. They let the sun’s light and warmth into the building. Huang also designed the building with open areas, to bring in air from outside. The building was strong, beautiful and comfortable. It cost much less than other buildings in the Exhibition. And city official could take it apart and rebuild it somewhere else after the Exhibition.
Voice 2 
The EcoArk brought immediate attention to Huang and POLLI-Bricks. Now POLLI-Bricks are being used in other building projects around the world. Huang hopes that the bricks will be a good use for plastic waste - keeping plastic out of the world’s oceans and waste collection areas. Huang wants to make a real difference, by making buildings that are better for the environment.
Voice 1 
Finally, we travel to South Korea. Our final project also uses recycled materials. But it is something less serious. Choi Jeong-Hwa is an artist. He creates art using common objects. These things do not seem to be art materials. But when he puts them together, the result is special. Many of his projects are public art - art in public places, for everyone to enjoy.
Voice 2
In 2011, Choi created an unusual project on the streets of Seoul. He chose a ten floor building. It was a normal, simple building. But Choi covered this normal building with bright, colorful doors! Choi needed many doors to cover the walls - 1,000 of them! Choi used old doors, but he chose doors that were colourful and interesting. From the street, the building is a colourful surprise!
Voice 1 
The use of recycled materials to build public buildings is growing. These new designs are perfect for temporary and moveable structures.  They are also lower cost, beautiful and good for the environment. For these reasons, more and more designers are thinking of fresh ideas for using recycled building materials. And soon, these unusual materials may appear in your city too!
