Undoubtedly it's a classroom but unlike normal ones this is a special one. The walls of this classroom do not have bricks. Actually this school building in San Pablo, Philippines is being built of discarded plastic bottles. A joint venture by designer Illac Diaz and MyShelter Foundation, the project is an inspiration as to how random discarded non-biodegradable stuff could be put to good use.
It is said to be the first school in Asia to have been constructed from plastic bottles. The construction that has been touted to be three times stronger involves the use of "1.5 and two-liter soda and water bottles filled with adobe". More such schools have been planned in the future and we would definitely like to see them.
