My design concept envisions a commemorative path along the White Cliffs of Dover, resonating with bird migration, weaving together human, avian, and botanical elements. Visitors are encouraged to bring bird-friendly seeds to feeders, attracting avian visitors to feed and nest. Over time, this area will evolve into a collective artwork shared by birds and humans.
The design features five bird-centric stations: a birdwatching platform, an avian observatory, an insect habitat, concrete wall nesting sites, and interactive feeding stations, all encouraging commemorative activities and natural conversations with birds.
Constructed with weather-resistant steel, wood, concrete, and other natural materials, these habitats not only enhance biodiversity but also protect the ecosystem. Seeds, symbolizing the origins and memory of plants, invite participation with sunflower, morning glory, and echinacea seeds in memorial activities. Our goal is to create a multifunctional space, serving both as a monument and a model for ecological conservation. This land will gradually transform into a vibrant green heritage, commemorating refugees who have endured challenging migrations.The Third Space is a conceptual exploration into the liminality of urban dwelling. Designed as a modular pavilion, it bridges the gap between private sanctuary and public discourse. Through a rhythmic application of timber and diffused light, the structure invites a slow-paced observation of the surrounding cityscape, challenging the traditional boundaries of architectural utility and poetic experience.
