Urban habitat for city birds 

​

Nested Wall is a project intersecting street art, architecture, design, urban ecology and community development. The aim of the project is to enhance urban biodiversity by creating natural habitats - “apartments” - for birds on blind walls while creating a nature oriented, aesthetically pleasing street art that raises awareness about the decline of urban wildlife and the issue of climate change. 

​

Cities are growing faster than ever before. People are living in more and more dense urban areas where green spaces and nature become a scarcity. This urban growth shrinks urban nature and threatens species that previously lived and bred in our cities. 

​

Creating a green wall for wildlife brings attention to the urging global issue of heat stress and its impact on our environment in an artistic manner. In this way it is raising a collective awareness to the need for nature oriented development while introducing a new dimension to street art. 

​

Nested Wall operates on four dimensions: a birdhouse, a collective bird’ dwellings, the neighborhood and the city. Its interdisciplinary nature   allows diverse approach and to co-create an integral solution for climate adaptation and to reach our collective sustainable development goals.
