About Domik Ptashki 禽舍
由于生活方式的单调和缺乏与自然的可持续互动，一个人生活在不断崩溃和内心不满的状态中，这使他无法充分享受生活。可以通过扩大认知范围并获得人与自然互动的新经验来解决该问题。为什么是鸟？它们的歌唱对人类的心理健康有积极影响，鸟类也可以保护环境免受害虫侵害。 Domik Ptashki项目提供了一个机会，可以创建有用的社区并通过观察和照顾鸟类来尝试鸟类学家的作用。

- Unique Properties
- This project is an opportunity to take care of birds and their habitats. Domik Ptashki is close to a natural hollow, and its round shape reduces the impact of rain, snow and wind. The low center of gravity allows place the birdhouse on the tree without additional fastening equipment. The inlet hole was reinforced to protect birds from predators.

- Production Technology
- In order to select appropriate types of wood and natural protective coatings, several prototypes were built for outdoor testing. Due to this, the design and production technology were significantly improved. The design of the birdhouse was built in the form of an octagonal prism to increase strength and ease of manufacture; the body and mechanisms was made of wood and coated with eco-friendly protective layers for their durability.
- Design Challenge
- The main difficulty was to find a balance in the project. On the one hand, the birdhouse should be as close as possible to natural habitats of birds, it should be safe for the environment, do not have bright colors and smells. On the other hand, it must have a stable structure to withstand climatic changes and extreme temperatures from minus 25 to plus 30 C. Moreover, the house should be attractive and easy to maintain for people.
- Research
- Using the principles of design thinking, the project team moved away from designing a traditional birdhouse. It was studied the ideal nesting places for birds in nature; searched for successful examples of artificial birdhouses; interviewed the ornithologist, PhD, Galina Lebedeva. As a result, a project concept was created and steps for its implementation were developed.
- Inspiration
- Why birds? Birds protect the environment from insect pests; their singing gives a person pleasure, peace and beneficial effects on his mental health. By interacting with birds, human can feel the unity with Nature.
- Project Duration
- The project started in February 2019 in Tolyatti and ended in December 2019 in Tolyatti.
- Operation Flow
- Due to the low center of gravity, the birdhouse can be securely fastened between branches without damaging the tree. If a tree of suitable height and thickness cannot be found, then a long pole can be installed to fix the birdhouse using a wicker basket or a metal grip on top. Domik Ptashki is collapsible; it is better to remove and clean it at the end of the season, so next year the bird settles there again.
