Waste Plant-Ski Slope

On the outskirts of Copenhagen a waste-to-energy plant that also doubles as a ski slope and recreation center will be constructed.  Waste-to-energy (WtE) plants create energy in the form of electricity or heat from the incineration of waste. This particular plant will have a modified smoke stack that puffs out giant smoke rings whenever 1 ton of fossil fuel is released to serve a communicative function as a gentle reminder of the impact of consumption. Part of the greatness of this piece of architecture is that is serves several purposes by doubling as a power station and a recreational centre.
