21 architects, 21 students, one pile of junk, one challenge: to create a fully functioning bar in a day.
November 1st, 2011
Launched by Tim Hastwell of JDH Architects, the One to One challenge sought to bridge the divide between the professional and student bodies. For one day, 21 architects and 21 students worked together to turn a massive pile of junk into a working bar.

Each of the 7 teams were assigned 2 core materials from the junk pile – selected materials that were otherwise destined for landfill.
Professional architects and budding architects let their imaginations run wild, creating objects as diverse as bike wheel chandeliers, tables made from carpet rolls and a chill-out room made of plastic containers.

The result was a bar that opened to over 150 students and professionals from across Sydney. Upon dismantling, the materials used were donated back to Reverse Garbage for reuse.
One to One is set to become an annual event in Sydney, with other states invited to take on the challenge too.
