Landscape forms in the architecture of waste management facilities in cities
Keywords: architecture, waste, nature, industrial infrastructure, artificial landscape
Architectural objects and engineering structures which are imitating nature – in a literal or in an imaginary
way – are based on patterns found in the natural landscape. In cities, artificial landscapes have become an
important element of innovative ecological concepts, aiming at the restoration of urban environment. In this
article, various examples of objects related to processing, recycling and storage of waste have been reviewed.
Then, three types of artificiality of nature were assigned to them, namely: continuing nature, imitating nature
and suggesting nature. The article examines how architects of artificial landscapes, looking for new ideas,
find inspiration in real life models of nature and how they transform them, creating innovative solutions for
industrial facilities in the urban environment.
