WasteLand Climate Action Park, a former contaminated industrial site, is the home to a pink lithium crystal sauna designed by Swedish duo Bigert & Bergström. The Lithium Crystal Sauna is a fully functional public sauna, that takes the form of an enormous, asymmetrical pink crystal, a deliberate reference to one of the minerals driving the global transition towards electric vehicles, batteries and renewable energy storage. Its exterior is clad in titanium-plated pink mirror steel, reflecting the surrounding river, forest and regenerating landscape. The result is an object that appears almost otherworldly against its natural setting.
