Automotive design and recycling are essential industries in today’s efforts fighting unsustainability. Yet these industries are too often excluded from one another. I am proposing to design an urban environment automotive recycling and prototyping center. I am proposing this facility in the Northern American heartland of St. Paul, MN, where the vehicles are prone to exceptional environmental wear and tear. A research facility of this manner has potential to unlock countless recycling strategies in regards to the automotive industry. I propose to explore and present a life cycle sustainable, architectural solution for the creation of an Automotive recycling and prototyping research facility. My goal is to facilitate automotive design for recycling. To activate these gritty sustainability practices, architects must focus the redesigning modern automotive research facilities and integrating them with automotive recycling processes.
