| dc.description.abstract | With the growing concern for our environment, recycling has become an issue for everyone, from recycling aluminum cans to reusing building materials. Scrap metal facilities have become more prevalent in recent years and play a role not only in preserving landfill space, but also in conserving our natural resources.
The typical picture of a scrap metal facility consists of a dirty, polluted yard with buildings on it that look much like the scrap metal piles nearby them. It is not enough anymore that we are just recycling the metals. The way in which it is done should also be monitored. The materials that come into a scrap yard are often toxic. Most scrap yards haven’t dealt with the environmental issues, such as oil dripping off machinery onto the ground. The people selling the scrap to these yards have a certain liability and are becoming more aware of the practices of the facilities they are dealing with. I propose the design of a state-of-the-art scrap metal facility that will set the standard for all other scrap yards not only architecturally but also environmentally. | en_US |
