Modular Habits
Integrating wildlife into urban spaces with modules
Modular Habitats provides a visual, sculptural opportunity to integrate wildlife into urban spaces. Disused vertical space, such as building facades within our cities are a missed opportunity to promote ecological and biological diversity. In response, Modular Habitats is a concept for new additions to our city scape that promote cohabitation with local wildlife. In particular, those that suffer from habitat loss due to rapid urbanisation. These physical objects seek to raise awareness and visibility for marginalised species by creating a visual experience for the viewer, thus unearthing some of the hidden natural processes functioning throughout the urban biome. Working with local ecological experts such as chiropterologists & ornithologists, to understand which species are in need, means each piece can be tailored to a specific location, species & context.
