Urban Aeries / PURCH
Research and Visions for Synanthropic Cohabitation

by Edward Dodington and Melissa McDonnell

URBAN AERIES / PURCH (Positioned Urban Roosts for Civic Habitation) – is a combined exercise in engaging other alternate-architects (specifically birds here) in the production of co-species habitations. The over-arching desire is to begin to define a new type of cross-species architectural collaboration where human and non-human architects can create in tandem an alternate method of living in this modern world.

Urban Aeries/PURCH is available for sale in print from Lulupress.com. The book is 90 ful- color perfect bound pages of Aerial Architecture.

This project was made possible through the generous support of the Rice Design Alliance.
