    Sinead Satherley  Testing design ideas Recently I have taken the task of re-fitting a caravan for self-sustainable use. An example of using appropriate resources is the Rimu bench tops and shelves- the Rimu boards are in fact old bed headboards which I salvaged from the local recycle centre… pro-longing the life of the timber, using an already cut resource, taking one piece of furniture to create another. fig. 16 fig. 17 fig. 18 fig. 19 A material that is in excess at council landfills is rubber vehicle tyres. There are people out there who are already exploring ways to recycle this valuable material, other than crumbing to make insulation and matting. Metzli Mancilla Hernandez, a Mexican designer, has created a collection of furniture made from recycled tyres, which she has cut into straps, patterned into products and then polished. The collection is called ʻIn Routeʼ. Tyres are made from vulcanised rubber, which is a very tough chemically-enhanced rubber. There is a way to de-vulcanise tyres and convert them back into rubber, which can be used to make new rubber products. fig. 20 I am looking for an in-expensive way to make the most out of this wide-spread resource, and the easiest way for it to be utilised by as many peoples as possible is to use the tyres whole, as Metzli Mancilla Hernandez has done.
    Sinead Satherley  fig. 21 ProjectH designers Heleen De Goey and Dan Grossman have effectively used salvaged whole tyres to create a mathematical ʻtoyʼ for the students of Kutamba AIDs Orphans School in Uganda. The playground can also be used for an assembly space with the incllusion of benchs over each tyre. The project is part of Architecture For Humanityʼs redesign for the school. The following two designs concepts would take used tyres from local landfills, sterilised and polished, and join them together into modular units using recycled pieces of steel tubing or similar material that is available. -fig. 22
