E WASTE LOOP-LINE - Retrace of mangrove memory

University/SchoolCentral Academy of Fine Arts
Lead ArchitectYifan Chen

"Accra" comes from the Akan language "nkran", which means "a group of ants". The name "nkran" comes from thousands of ant mounds distributed on the Accra plain. Agbogloshie, where the site is located, is the largest e-waste landfill in Accra. Like ants on the earth, they live with piles of e-waste every day by burning waste. This project aims to restore the local mangrove ecology and reshapes the memories of local residents by changing the e-waste dealing manners from the problems of housing, ecology and electronic pollution.
