repurposed

Building for Change

Talk about Repurposed! When looking at an old out of service school bus most people wouldn’t see a potential bust stop shelter, but that is what artist Christopher Fennell has done here. By resurrecting these old scrap heaps, Fennell has recycled in an unorthodox, but rather amazing way.

During our exploration of public spaces we have seen many different ways that people have transformed the areas around them in creative ways, using graffiti or public art and sculpture to repurpose and recreate the space around them. Fennell specializes in using materials that have been thrown out, things considered unusable and unwanted by society, and transforms them into something new. Looking at innovative ideas like this I can’t help but feel that we should be seeing more things like this in our cities and towns. A little creativity can go a long way for changing our world.
