Future is Now is an event space in Taipei created to share ideas about sustainable living and the circular economy. The interior uses second-hand wooden pallets, cleaned and sanded for safety, as vertical planters by the windows and as movable modular seating. A large ceiling installation is made from recycled film taken from an LED screen. Construction followed a low-landfill approach, and most waste was sorted for recycling. All elements are reused or recycled after the program. The space measures 11.2 by 16 meters, with a ceiling height of 3 meters.
