installation of urban trees and bird houses
back in 2008, chilean architects emilio marin and claudio magrini collaborated on an artistic installation for a competition. the result was a public intervention of modular trees. the tree bases have openings in which branches with bird houses and perches can be inserted in various arrangements creating an area in which birds can circulate and flock towards. the project won first place and has now been realized in the santiago valley, chile.

more commentshumans destroy nature, then recreate it and they call it ART(I know that maybe emilio & claudio didn’t cut trees for their instalation, but the soil is ravaged, so no worms for the birds for a wile,by the way, iron come from enviro-friendly mines? I hope it’s recycled, if not…gulp!). If you want a park with real trees then send a letter to the responsibles of that area, inform people, teach them so they can be conscious. Protect Nature, dont try to replace it. I’m a little bit sick of fake stuff (sorry, post didn’t modify before)

Great installation piece. Love the idea.
Real trees are always better but I think these metal trees, with the addition of “leaves”, could be a perfect solution as replacements in areas where trees have been poisoned (a terrible and selfish act of vandalism to increase land value). The metal tree will provide the shade that has been lost from the destruction of the original tree.
is it an hunting area? would make sense
WONDERFUL & SMART IDEA!! It’s hard for some people to think outside the box but this has artistic, social, and environmental merits.
When a place has been over-industrialized, no one cares about planting a few trees…nor would those few trees do anything to bring back nature.
However, if a cost effective visual installation can appeal to nature (e.g. by allowing birds to rest-stop during their migration route) it will attract attention and appeal to people in the area and society at large. This would possibly bring attention to the real underlying issue. Should this area attract enough birds this area can therefore be declared as a sanctuary which then brings in trees enough for a real park…
…and that, my friends, is why this silly little idea is so terribly brilliant.
it appears that the idea of an art installation is not well understood
I think it can be use for lands that has lemur flora..
nature doesnt grow up trees all around the world..
ps: not include deserts 😀
Think how much easier it will be for bird watchers to concentrate on watching the bird without it dodging about in the leaves. [url=http://www.oursorry.com/]tiffany jewellery[/url]
