4R Learning Center was designed to show children how trash can be recycled into useable materials. The colorful lobby shows several projects that young children can identify and make themselves. Old CDs and a wavy, blue rope make a decorative ceiling border.
The console table is made from two vintage heat radiators and a door cut in half for the tabletop. The table decorations are cardboard tubes and crepe paper flowers that sit in a light, white globe. The storage units are ice cream cartons, tin cans and milk cartons. They provide easy access to papers, pencils and handouts. Cardboard tubes in the shape of a house roof outline the elevator. Two wallflowers made from cardboard and a hub cap enhance the landscape. Just around the corner a mobile constructed out of three bicycle wheels and chains hangs at different heights.
Woofy welcomes everyone, especially the children who come to the tutorial center, while sitting on a high rise pedestal. The pedestal is created from soda cans glued together with a piece of acrylic on top for a flat surface.
