‘Waste Economies: Mapping Formal and Informal Waste Infrastructures in Shanghai’

Seminar: Laboratory on Urban Research, http://urbanresearchlab.net/
Presenters: Maren Koehler and Bettina Vismann
Date: Saturday 27 March, 2010
Time: 2-4pm
Fee: free

Abstract
This project investigates the organizational and spatial dimensions of waste, with a special focus on the collection of urban waste and processes of selection for recycling. In Shanghai the treatment of municipal waste is an everyday routine. Alongside official procedures for waste management, lateral networks with high flexibility and efficiency have developed. The system of interconnected scavengers, selectors and streetcleaners is made visible when spatially registered. A street corner, a wastebin, a collection depot become temporary nodes of exchange.

Our investigation of the logistics of municipal waste and its attendant economies is made accessible by combining drawing techniques with photography. In this seminar we discuss the discrepancies between formal and informal uses of public space and waste as they connect with different modes of self-organized labour.

The study of waste in Shanghai is part of a broader analysis conducted in Eastern and Western Europe.

Bio
Maren Koehler is an architect and independent researcher based in Shanghai. Bettina Vismann is running an architectural research practice in Berlin. In the past 10 years they have collaborated on projects combining research, architectural practice and academic teaching.

垃圾经济：绘测上海正式与非正式的垃圾基础结构”

研讨会：城市研究实验室http://urbanresearchlab.net/
主讲人：Maren Koehler  Bettina Vismann
日期：2010年3月27日 星期六
时间：下午2点-4点
费用:免费

简介:

这个项目调查了垃圾在组织和空间上的规模，以城市垃圾的回收和分类再利用的过程作为重点。在上海，城市垃圾处理是日常事务。除了官方的垃圾管理程序，其次具有高灵活性和效率的网络已经开始发展。拾荒者，垃圾分类人员和道路清洁工的互联网络在注册之后已经浮出水面。一个街角，一个垃圾箱，一座回收站成为交换的临时站点。

通过绘制技术和摄影的结合，我们关于城市垃圾后勤学以及其随之而产生的经济的调查，变得十分容易。在这场研讨会上，我们讨论公共空间和垃圾在正式与非正式利用之间的差异，它们连接着以不同方式自我组织的劳动力。

上海城市垃圾的研究是在东欧和西欧实施的广泛分析的一部分。

主讲人介绍：
