Perforated sheets configured in the newest architectures

Observing birds by plant architect made from perforated sheets of environmental resistant steel

Environmental resistant steel is used by a plant architect to develop a series of wing like structure for bird monitors in a park in Toronto that are punctured with patterns and information about local species.

Present in city’s east point park bird sanctuary, structures were made by a company located in Toronto to secure and enhance bird’s life. The system consists of a main visible area, a bird blind and double entry signposts. The structure is built from weathering steel.

The structures are made in an unlike folded form, intended to be evocative of flight and has information about local environment and wildlife curved into the steel surfaces.

The viewing area is a miracle of project, sitting on a major site that neglects the idyllic landscape. The structure consists of pavilions that face each other. Below the wing shaped steel ceiling, concrete benches extend along the walls to offer shelter to the visitors.

The area seems like a signature pavilion to treat as a central gathering destination for park. It is a place to offer shelter from rain and an area that accommodates a few kids.

The walls made from rusty steel sheet in the both pavilions are intensely perforated with silhouettes of birds.

The main area offers the central gathering place. It consists of double pieces that are mirror image of each other- one side offers to view inner towards the pong whilst the other aims to offer the outside to lake Ontario.

Far from the pavilions, the bird observing sheet is nested against the reeds near the water’s edge. The metal panels are perforated in orthogonal shapes made to appear like a play of shadows, enabling to offer the shelter.

The water- jet cut graphics are at various heights to permit both elders and kids to see birds on the pond even at close distance. After completing the first part, architect is planning to develop the second phase of the project that showcases it as a listening sanctuary.

This building will be completely enclosed, encouraging visitors to experience the sound of a forest life. More structures have been created for bird observing by using other materials. The visitor center for bird habitat is fully thatched with reeds.
