青年建筑师设计竞赛（YAC）的本次竞赛主题为“塑料纪念碑”，建筑装置可巡回展览，提高人们的环保意识，更加爱护地球。获奖者评审团选出，评审团成员有隈研吾、Carlo Ratti、Italo Rota、Mandy Barker、Maria Cristina Finucci等著名人士，获奖者将获得共15000欧元现金奖励，一等奖的项目将得以实施。

在世界的尽头，尘土飞扬的大地里，人类的生活被无边无际的塑料环绕，他们捡拾塑料，以每公斤几美分的价格出售。

这是反乌托邦吗？这是科幻小说吗？不，它真实发生在孟加拉国达卡河沿岸。这只是环境污染的现象之一，由于环境恶化，影响规模超出人们的想象。从本质上讲，塑料难以降解，正因如此，塑料垃圾日复一日地积累，加深了对地球环境的污染与破坏。

但实际上，塑料并不是人们的“敌人”。它可运用到太空旅行之中，也可以为医学作出巨大的奉献，每天拯救了数百万人，让贫穷人口能够安全地获取食物资源。

人们不能离开塑料。所以，现在YAC希望提高人们对垃圾管理的意识。此外，还需要进行技术研究，创造传统聚合物的可持续替代品。

“国家地理”有很多照片展现了生物、环境被塑料污染影响的画面。Bio-On（www.bio-on.it）也意识到这个问题，为了开发完全可生物降解的生物聚合物，意大利人在研究方面投入了数百万欧元。

“塑料纪念碑”由“国家地理”和“Bio-On”合作，这是可巡回展出的建筑装置竞赛，获奖装置将在世界各地巡回，提高人们的环保意识，更加爱护地球。

在“塑料垃圾”与“环境”的战斗中，每个人都可以有所作为。“塑料纪念碑”为建筑师提供了展现自我的机会，同时向世界展示塑料文化。竞赛将成为契机，让人类为他们的贪婪开发造成的环境灾难进行反思。同时，这也将成为保护地球的新基础。

​YAC – Young Architects Competitions launches “Plastic Monument”, a competition of ideas aiming to create an itinerant architectural installation. It will travel all around the world to raise awareness about the impact of plastic waste on our planet. A cash prize of €15,000 + realization of the 1st Prize will be awarded to winners selected by a well-renowned jury made of, among the others,​ Kengo Kuma, Carlo Ratti, Italo Rota, Mandy Barker, Maria Cristina Finucci.
At the extreme ends of the earth, dull grey skies are whipped by winds saturated with dust. Here, men, women and children wander through boundless expanses of plastic looking for waste to sell at a few cents a kilogram.
Is this a dystopia? Is this science fiction? No, it is not. This happens along the river Dhaka in Bangladesh. This is one of the numerous aspects of a disaster, which is now too extended to be told. By nature, plastic waste is indestructible and currently there is an incalculable amount of it on the planet. Human beings are losing the fight against plastic waste.
Actually plastic is not an enemy. It made space travels possible. It revolutionized medicine. Daily, it saves millions of people making food resources safe and accessible to the poorest populations of the planet.
What is needed is not a world without plastic. What is needed now is a revolutionized awareness about waste management. Moreover, a technological research to create sustainable alternatives to traditional polymers is required.
National Geographic is well aware of that. For years, it has been informing the general public about the effects of plastic pollution with its photographs. Bio-On (www.bio-on.it) knows it perfectly too. It is the Italian excellency that invests millions of euros in research in order to develop completely-biodegradable biopolymers.
Plastic Monument is the result of the collaboration between the giant of photography and the biopolymer excellency. It is a competition aiming to create an itinerant architectural installation that will travel all around the world to raise awareness about the impact of plastic waste on our planet.
In the fight against plastic waste, everyone can make the difference. Plastic Monument offers architects the opportunity to play a key role in raising awareness. Plastic Monument will create an object to show the world the consequences of disposable culture. It will be the ambassador of a renewed attention on the effects of our choices. It will denounce the disaster caused by the superficiality and bulimia of modern man. However, it will also be the new foundation to protect our planet.
