My name is Tobias Holler, I am an architect and I teach at the New York Institute of Technology. I love Costa Rica and the planet. With a wonderful, dedicated group of students I have been working over the past year to design a community-run recycling and education center for Nosara, a small village in Northwestern Costa Rica, as part of the sLAB (student-led architecture build) community service initiative at NYIT’s School of Architecture and Design. The project is ready to be built this summer and the students are eager and willing to donate their time and skills to help with construction. Together with professional filmmaker Ayana de Vos we are looking to fund a portion of the student’s expenses while volunteering on the construction site in Nosara, and to enable Ayana to shoot the construction process, so that the project can be prominently featured in her documentary film about waste management and sustainability in Costa Rica, in order to share this important initiative with a larger audience.
