The new 'Junkitecture' craze

By Colleen gowlett

London South East, UK - Husband and wife team Folke Köbberling and Martin Kaltwasser have built the Jellyfish Theatre using old pallets as cladding and some recycled and reclaimed materials such as old kitchen units and watercooler bottles which will be decorated by local school children.

This new craze to create buildings from recycled and reclaimed materials has been termed 'Junkitecture'.

The structure is made from scaffolding with a temporary scaffolding roof which has then been clad with plastic bottles and old pallets. According to some reports materials and fixings were also bought from a nearby superstore.

The UK Arts Council have provided Ł85,000 grant funding for the project.
