No Waste Should End Up in Landfills: My Journey from Curiosity-Driven Change

Around the same time last year, I had an opportunity that shifted my perspective forever. Driven by a curiosity to change my understanding, as a fourth-year architecture student, I visited a live construction site, excited to finally witness how the designs we spent hours perfecting in the studio were translated into real structures. Standing on the 9th floor of an under-construction building, taking in the panoramic view of the city, I noticed something strange: piles of broken concrete rubble were scattered around, illustrating the issue of construction waste in India.
