Check out this cool green gear: urban birdhouses designed to imitate shoes thrown over power lines, providing a home for wildlife that’s been displaced by urban growth. If we’re going to have stuff dangling from power lines, it might as well serve a good purpose, right?
Design Band calls it:
an urban birdhouse inspired by the uniquely American act
of throwing shoes over power lines (gangs use this to mark
their “turf”), Bird Turf proudly reclaims city space for natural
habitat by manipulating a distinctly cultural typology
Design Band is a collaborative effort between designers Emilie Baltz and Ben Bearsch.
