In Germany alone, tens of thousands of habitats of birds and bats are visited every year
buildings destroyed by renovations. In view of the worldwide extinction of species, we as architects see the responsibility to give wild animals a space in the city. Our “bird camera” installation provides unusual insights into the world of building breeders. Accompanied by a multifaceted program with lectures by experts and playful workshops
we want to discuss with you, residents & planners, the potential of our cities as habitats for everyone.

Event location:

StadtWERKSTATT Friedrichshain-Kreuzberg/Adlerhalle, Dragonaareal.

Organization/ Initiative:

KUNSTFELSEN works at the interface of architecture and species protection for the preservation of urban biodiversity. 150 species die out on earth every day and rural areas are no longer as rich in species as our cities. Could the protection of species on buildings take on a new meaning as a design concept for the 21st century?

Funded:

The event is part of the initiative DRAUSSENSTADT, funded by the Berlin Project Fund Urban Practice and the Senate Department for Culture and Social Cohesion.
