(POP)culture by Garth Britzman

This temporary installation used recycled soda bottles as a canopy under which a small park is created. An intriguing environment is created where one can explore the surface qualities of the bottles at eye level. Additionally, this project sought to stimulate creative alternatives for recycling and reusing materials.

One designer in the United States, the word “recycle” took on a whole new meaning as he used hundreds of used clear plastic soda bottles to create a colorful canopy in front of his home.

Garth Britzman, a native of Nebraska, started to thinking outside the box and decided to repurpose old plastic soda bottles in a creative way. He strung all the plastic bottles together to create a canopy. And to add a more decorative touch to his eco-friendly design, known as (POP)culture, he filled the bottom of the bottles with a beautiful array of yellows, blues, and greens. And because the bottom of the plastic bottles looks like flowers, it looks as though the canopy top is made of hundreds of colorful flowers. This is definitely a very creative way of keeping your car shaded from the summer heat!
