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.

FERAL CITY

...from Seth Barnard, an architecture student at the Cooper Union. Seth's project, as he states, asks the simple question "What if we introduced [or re-introduced] zoological/ entomological/ botanical specimens into our everyday lives?" And we totally agree with you Seth. What if? What if we had a greater awareness of the animals already around us...
