The first hotel made of trash in the world opened next to Castel Sant Angelo in Rome, Italy On June 4, 2010.
The 'Corona Save the beach Hotel', is a hotel that has been built entirely from beach garbage.It has been conceptualized and designed by HA Schult, the German action artist, famous for his work Trash Men -in which thousands of life-sized human figures were made entirely of non-organic waste and were placed in emblematic places all around the world- the hotel will stay open until the 6th of June and for 3 days it will remind people of what could become of our planet if we don t look after and respect the environment. HA Schult is a pioneer in converting garbage into art. 'The philosophy of this hotel is to show the damage that we are causing to the sea and the coast. We are living in a time of rubbish, and we run the risk of becoming just that' says HA Schult.
