![“The HAKA Building is a pre-war factory that Doepel Strijkers is converting into a “clean tech living lab” for eco-friendly water and energy organizations. The project is an experiment of sorts in how socially and environmentally minded architecture can benefit the region. The ultimate goal: A wasteless building. So to cut back on energy and transportation costs, the architects sourced all their materials locally, either second-hand or from demolition sites. You’ve got seating made from the wood of abandoned post-war housing; a meeting room fashioned entirely out of recycled doors; and an acoustic wall created with a whopping 17,700-pound pile of old clothes. A team of (supervised) ex-cons threw it all together.” (via Ex-Cons Transform a Factory Into a Dazzling Recycled Office [Slideshow] | Co.Design)](http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lgf2yfe09l1qzsosxo1_400.jpg)
