soda (POP)culture

designer Garth Britzman made sure his plastic bottles weren’t going to end up in a landfill… these water and soda bottles were intended for a much greater purpose. Garth of Lincoln, Nebraska worked the empty soda pop bottles into a giant canopy, providing shade for cars and humans alike!

entitled (POP)culture – he filled each bottle with a little bit of colored water.  the blues, greens and yellows really give it a fresh and summery feel…don’t ‘cha think?

in total, the project utilizes over 1,500 discarded plastic bottles.  the bottles are arranged with strings hanging at different lengths – giving the installation a wavy feel.  it almost looks like it could be stained glass!

    .Cool! I did something similar in Guatemala, but much more simple We built a wall with a fence on top built out of soda bottles around a children’s soccer field that was carved into the side of the mountain! It was a great use of bottles instead of new material.
