Design for the needs of a population - what is it to design for birds in 2015?
- Solution
The VERDANT habitat goes beyond shelter to incorporate, color, temperature and bio-diversity.
The product line incorporates a sedum (crassulaceae) green-roofing system - sedum is a shallow-root species, drought resistant, and can survive 90% of climates in the USA.
To meet the needs of birds we must design for whole habitat conservation
Exploring inspiration from green-roof architecture
- Testing
selecting process, textures, function, and details
testing dimensions & patterns for structural strength
testing shallow-root growing systems
Simple joinery system with friction fit disc
2 layered cones provide the double-insulated structure.
Molded pattern gives strength to light-weight material.
- The making of
Molds / baffle boxes / vacuum form / cutout / assemble / insert plants
