Dwellings, Rehomed
About the event
Visit our garden and explore a vibrant collection of birdhouses by some of London’s most innovative designers. Responding to the challenge of reimagining the humble birdhouse, the display brings together a feast of materials, shapes and concepts. Each creates a space for our feathered friends to live in, and for humans to reflect upon.
What to expect Birdhouses enable the co-habitation of people and birds. Unassuming and beautiful, these objects usually allow close observation of these fascinating creatures. But ultimately, in urban areas they are artificial sanctuaries attempting to replace the birds’ shrinking natural habitats. Dwellings, Rehomed responds to the themes of the More than Human exhibition. With approaches ranging from the functional to the poetic and from the utilitarian to the sculptural, each birdhouse manifests human empathy with other species. Seventeen birdhouses imagined and crafted by visionary designers are displayed in the garden, inviting you to immerse in nature and explore the space to find them all. Dwellings, Rehomed is the progression of the Dwellings project, originally conceived by Computer Room and Flock Together in collaboration with Open AREA in 2024.
