50/50 Words for Reuse - Graeme Brooker

50I50 Words is a collection that explores the language of reuse, proposing that what might seem obsolete isn't just a target for depredation, but a platform for transformative research and design through reuse. It advocates for the creative re-designation of the existing. 50I50 traces these practices through history and emphasizes their significance in the 21st century, a time defined by responses to the climate crisis and the pursuit of social justice. This compilation serves as a resource—a lexicon, vocabulary guide, and glossary—that captures the process of transforming the old into something new.
