atheist-xmas:artemisnightingale216:joekabox:awed-frog:This is the exact opposite of hostile architecture. Bless.(Friendly architecture? Neighbourly architecture? Benign architecture?)I love the idea of my roof being an apartment complex for birds.I love the idea too, but don’t tiles get really hot in the sun? Those poor birds will fryHere’s a link to an article about it with more detail and links to the manufacturer’s site, Hitit Terra. They’re on Instagram!Here’s an excerpt from the article:“Hitit Terra’s bird nest tiles were tested by Afyon Nature Conservation and the 5th Regional Directorate of National Parks and re-designed according to the demand. They now produce 4-5 different tile designs that accommodate different bird species.”So rest assured, these are not little terracotta bird ovens! As the article also notes, building birdhouses into existing structures has been a part of Turkish tradition for a very long time. -- source link
