As part of their mission to protect birds and their habitat, the Audubon Society recommends policies and conservation practices that protect, enhance, and expand the places birds need. The field of landscape architecture has the potential skills and knowledge to both participate in and lead these efforts. During this studio, students engaged in designing for urban bird habitat to create designs that are functional while also prompting curiosity and wonder from their human neighbors (see II. Speculative Site Designs). Their designs offer site based solutions that connect to larger regional challenges driven by climate change and urbanization.
