Register for our May webinar: Good S**t! 💩

Confronting the impending ecological and economic fallout of failing sanitary systems in Cape Cod, Good S**t - a framework created by Nicky Rhodes, Master of Architecture candidate at the Harvard Graduate School of Design - proposes a new form of cooperative infrastructure and adaptive architecture for upcycling human "waste" into resource.

Moving through sites of sanitary intervention across domestic, civic, and regional scales, the network reconnects buildings, landscapes, and human metabolism within a regenerative nutrient cycle.

Got a story about reuse? We want to hear it. 🔥

Submit your session proposal for the 2026 Deconstruction + Reuse Conference, November 18–19 in Phoenix, Arizona.

This year's theme — Reuse Rising — is a call to action. Inspired by the phoenix, we're asking: what does transformation look like when nothing goes to waste? What does resilience look like on a job site, in a city council chamber, or on a retail floor?
