020 Bird House
In 2006, AV was selected for the ‘Space-Designer Designed BirdHouse’ edition promoted by the Japanese BirdHouse Foundation, to design a bird house. Conceived to respond to the local ecosystem, the structure is the result of minutely detailed studies to provide shelter and sustenance to migrating birds, optimizing the available resources – sun, wind, rainwater – and the specific daytime heat gradient. The birdhouse turns into the wind, protecting the nest with its sail and allowing the birds to have optimal flying conditions.
Project Details
Background: The Bird House Foundation invites designers to design bird houses as a symbol of a creative interaction with nature
Objectives: Create a structure which is built in the bird’s environment (the air) employing different technologies
Concept: Reach the sky, the bird’s home
Materials: Polyamid carbon fiber, wood, clay, steel
Structure: Cantilevering carbon mast held by ceramic base and timber fold-out stand
Technologies: Pottery, selective laser sintering, carbon fiber filament, sail-making
Wind resistance: 60 km/h (estimate)
Energy production: 5 solar cells power five 600mAh NiMH batteries for LED lights; energy consumption five 50mA LED lights
Assembly: 20 minutes, 1 person; 3 birds to complete the nests
Typology: Bird Nest
Design Team: Architecture and Vision - Arturo Vittori and Andreas Vogler
Hand Painting: Michelle Gordon, Chicago, USA
Engineers: G-Engineering, Italy

Nel 2006 Architecture and Vision è stato selezionato per l’edizione Space Designer Designed BirdHouse promossa dalla giapponese BirdHouse Foundation. per realizzare un nido. Progettata nel rispetto dell’ecosistema locale, la struttura è studiata nei minimi dettagli per offrire riparo e sostentamento agli uccelli in migrazione, sfruttando le risorse disponibili – energia solare, vento, acqua piovana – e lo specifico gradiente termico diurno.

En 2006 Architecture and Vision a été sélectionné pour concevoir un nid d’oiseau dans le cadre du concours Space-Designer Designed BirdHouse organisé par la Fondation japonaise BirdHouse. Conçu pour répondre à l’éco-système local, la structure est le résultat d’études très détaillées pour fournir un abri et soutien aux oiseaux migrateurs, optimisant les ressources disponibles sur site—comme le soleil, le vent, l’eau de pluie—et la courbe de température de la journée.

في عام 2006، تم اختيار استديو ‘العمارة والرؤية’ من أجل تصميم نسخة فضائية مطورة من بيت الطيور الذي تروج له مؤسسة بيت الطيور اليابانية. وباعتبار ذلك التصميم استجابة للنظام البيئي المحلي، فإنه نتاج لدراسات مفصلة دقيقة من أجل توفير مأوى وغذاء للطيور المهاجرين، وذلك عن طريق تحسين الاستفادة من الموارد المتاحة مثل الشمس، والرياح، ومياه الأمطار، وتدرج الحرارة خلال النهار.
