7 Wonders In Just 1 Hour?

 

Waste to wonder theme park is situated in Delhi and is built on the theme of how to use waste into usable form. The inspiration for Waste to Wonder was clicked by the idea from Bollywood movie “Badrinath ki Dulhania” in which kota's wonders of the world has been featured. The movie scene inspired to make such a replica of seven wonders using waste material and created “Waste to wonders” in the capital city.

Now that you know these fascinating monuments replica of these fascinating marvels made out of Scrap, Waste.

•  The Eiffel Tower, FRANCE

                    Eiffel Tower

This structure is 70 feet tall and all of it and by all of it we mean the whole thing is made out of automobile waste which weighs around 40 tonnes.The replica created by artist Sandip Pisalkar from Vadodara, does do justice to the original structure that was built in 1889 by Gustave Eiffel.Eiffel Tower, the veritable symbol of Paris and France, which is the tallest one among the replicas.

•  Statue of Liberty, USA

USA’s statue of liberty

The Statue of Liberty was given to the United States by France, as a symbol of the two countries' friendship. 35 feet tall replica of the Statue Of Liberty has been created using seven to eight tonnes of waste by 31-year-old Zakir, a Delhi based artist. If not you can take your Statue of Liberty pictures here in Delhi. The whole thing is made out of old pipes, metal railings and waste parts of two-wheelers.  her hair has been made using cycle chains.

•  Pyramid of Giza, EGYPT

Egypt’s Pyramid of Giza

The Great Pyramid of Giza which is the oldest of the seven wonders of the ancient world now has a look-alike in Delhi. The 110 layer structure has been created using 10,800 feet scrap angles weighing 10-12 tonnes by Patra Pijush Patra from Vadodara.Don't worry there are no dummy-mummies buried in them, just a very conical pyramid made out of scrap metal pipes. 

•  Colosseum of Rome, ITALY

                                                    Colosseum gets old touch in the national capital Delhi

The Colosseum or Coliseum, also known as the Flavian Amphitheatre, is an oval amphitheatre in the centre of the city of Rome, Italy.The Colosseum could hold an estimated 50,000 to 80,000 spectators at various points of its history over the centuries, having an average audience of some 65,000. In reality, it was a gift to ancient Roman citizens. And the replica of Colosseum is indefinitely a gift to us. The arches alone are made up to 410 car wheels and all the fascinating illumination is actually the result of stored solar energy.Amazing! 

•   Leaning Tower of Pisa,ITALY

                 39 feet tall replica of Leaning Tower of Pisa

The tower of Pisa which got the prefix ‘leaning’ because it started tilting during its construction in the 12th century now has its clone in Delhi. Pisa got its name in 600 BC from a Greek word meaning “marshy land.”In the end, the Leaning Tower of Pisa does not fall because its center of gravity has been carefully kept within its base. In short, this is why the Tower of Pisa does not topple over. To recreate such an angle must have been difficult for these artists. But, they did an excellent job. The 10.5 tonnes of waste used in making the tower is no less than a wonder.

•   Christ - The Redeemer, Brazil

                           Replica of Christ The Reedmer

Christ the Redeemer is a statue in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil that was built as a symbol of Brazilian Christianity. In 1850, the idea of building a religious monument was first suggested by a Catholic Priest. It wasn't until 1920 when a group petitioned for support to build a landmark statue that it became a reality.Lastly, you do need the blessing of Almighty Redeemer! This particular statue is made out of disposed-off bike chains, park benches and stuff like that. Motorbike chains have been used to create hair.You see, a lot has gone into the recreation of this fascinating Christ structure, you got to go and check it out.Made by Vadodara based artist Shubham, replica was built in almost five months.
