This  book shows how this interest in what we discard is far from new - it is  integral to how we make, build and describe our lived environment. As  this wide-ranging new study reveals, waste has been a polarizing topic  for millennia and has been treated as a rich resource by artists,  writers, philosophers and architects. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDrawing on the works of Giorgio  Agamben, T.S.
