Bonheur Provisoire pavilion made out of reused plastic beer crates

Ever wondered what happens to all those empty crates of beer that you’ve downed the night before at that beer fest? Some of these are recycled and used in architecture! Take the temporary pavilion of Bonheur Provisoire by SHSH (Shizuka Hariu, Shin Bogdan Hagiwara) for example. This one’s made out of recycled beer crates in front of the original Atomium exhibition building. Reusing these plastic crates to build this pavilion sure seems like a fabulous idea! Columns, domes, arches, all made from beer crates have found their places in this pavilion. Using around 33,000 plastic beer crates, the pavilion was built, and seems like a giant-sized Lego construction.

Once razed to the ground, the beer crates will once again be used to carry that cold fizzy beverage, keeping up with the concept of reuse and recycle.
