  1. Thanks for the post! Your site looks great! I just linked to y’all on my homepage

    I’ve been working hard to complete the videos for Zoosphere. The staff at DiverseWorks have been working really hard to construct special walls and a floor screen! It’s looking really good so far.
    Thanks again for the press!
    all the best,

  3. Dear all,

    i was glad to find such a site our if i can say a community on the web, as am an architect and an animal fanatic.
    i never expected that there is a place where i enjoy both of them together. i even sometimes felt that i need to leave architecture and study and work in the field of zoology to satisfy the great urge and passion in me.
    recently i passed through a very rough experience and me and my wife suffered a great loss and since then am more determine to change my life to be serving a good cause and i found you.

    am asking you and everyone on site to guide me how can i participate or be part of something helping and supporting this cause? where can i learn and enhance my abilities and passion to do something positive? am from Egypt but am willing to relocate with my wife who share the same passion with me to work and be part of such teams and communities. we are willing to learn and help giving all our time and effort for such cause.

    thank you everyone

    regards

  4. Hi,
    I was browsing bldgblog.com when I came across your website. I am currently a masters student at the National University of Singapore, Department of Architecture. Last semester in my 4th year I did a project that is related to the theme of animal influenced architecture. The title of the project is ‘Consuming nature in its entirety’.

    The animal that was involved is the humble hummingbird. As hummingbirds are the only birds that can pollinate the heliconia species of plants, they will be the main attraction of the heliconia farm that is the main program. The design is a postulated extension of the Singapore Jurong Birdpark and it makes use of the hummingbirds pollinating the plants in the farm as a kind of attraction. This project is an example of how animals can influence not only how architecture will appear as but also question the idea of architecture itself. Therefore, I would really like to share this project on this website, if the webmaster is interested that is. I look forward to your email! Thank you!

  7. Dear Animal Architecture,

    I have been following your website for a while because of crossed interests.

    I realized with the last newsletter that I have never brought to your attention my skyscraper project made of falcon nests proposed to the ThyssenKrupp Elevator International Architecture Award – Dubai ’08

    I also think you might be interested by this other site specific public art intervention made of 500 salmon skins

  8. Dear Animal Architecture,

    I feel as though I’ve stumbled upon a gem finding this website.

    I am a master student, studying architecture at the University of Edinburgh. My unit is currently working under the topic of Zoological Urbanism. I am specifically looking at the Red Fox within an urban context. I will be proposing an intervention that will encourage human/animal interaction. Are there any resources you can direct me to that will give me specific examples of architecture that co-habits humans and urban foxes?

    Kind Regards,

    Usama

    1. Usama,

      Thanks for the encouraging words. While I don’t know of any project that specifically focuses on Red Foxes, check out “Feral City” on Animal architecture, there are some very beguiling illustrations of Urban Animal habitations in there. Also check out Daniel Arsham’s project. More importantly, be sure to read “A foray into the Worlds of Animals and Humans” by J. Von Uexkull. There’s a re-publication of this book on Amazon for about $25.00. It’s a necessary text for any cross-species investigation.

      Best,

      -N
