Legendary Bird Home 2021
The LEGENDARY BIRD HOME 2021 competition is the second in a planned series of competitions looking to raise awareness for the global environmental crisis. This competition will be a collaboration with Birdly – a socially responsible startup that aims to support environmental activism worldwide through funds raised by selling bird homes.
Participants are tasked with presenting innovative and attention-grabbing designs for a legendary bird home which will be built reception, using materials and building methods that are both environmentally sustainable and simply available.
Each project will get to include details of the building method and therefore the materials to be used, ensuring that the structure might be built by one person with tools that are widely available. so as to form the project more accessible, simple tools that are available reception are recommended, however more sophisticated techniques – just like the use of a laser cutter – are often proposed.
The winning designs will receive a share of the prize fund also as media coverage, and their designs are going to be suggested for production and sale on birdly.org, with half the profit donated to chosen charities.
