1.7 Earths currently, 3 in the next decade.
That is the worth of resources that we are using yearly, and the estimated doubling of it, by the end of the following decade. Two-thirds out of all those extracted resources end up as waste.
It’s kind of ironic and paradoxical that we go to all that trouble to obtain these valuable resources and materials, design them, form them to become something, just to become nothing, worthless, waste, by a simple toss into the garbage bin.
But one can be wasteful only in abundance - this abundance, however, breeds a carelessness towards consumption, accumulation, and ultimately, destruction.
This is an exploratory (design) thesis that delves into how to reevaluate waste conceptualization, and what would be needed for a collective to do so. How to create a space where the Ethos of Care and Repair becomes (one of) the method(s) of this reconceptualization, and rethinking relationship with waste.

This thesis explores the creation of anti-fascist postwar memorials in Croatia, as a former part of Yugoslavia, between 1945 and 1990, with a focus on three independent memorials in Croatia commissioned by the same government - Petrova Gora, Kamenska and Jasenovac. The research aims to understand the historical and political context in which these memorials were constructed, as well as their relationship to one another. By using image analysis of the visual and verbal narratives of the monuments, there is a correlation to be grasped, which leads to a better understanding of the topic's multi-layers. The paper addresses questions regarding the architects' roles in creating monuments to tragic events, their ideas, who they were designed for, and who or what they honor. To discover answers to these issues, secondary and primary bibliographies are going to be analyzed, including original images, architectural sketches, written thoughts, and interviews. The study offers insight into the architectural and symbolic values of the memorials and their significance in Yugoslavian history.
