Abstract
RESEARCH QUESTION
How could an architectural proposition assist in providing for the sustainability, and an educational experience, of wild-life fauna and their natural habitats, in New Zealand and from elsewhere in our world?
ABSTRACT
What would be the impact on New Zealand if native birds ceased to exist? Birds and the natural environment are crucial to human growth, knowledge and survival. Even so, humans continue to negatively impact the environment, contributing to a downward trend in the state of our planet and eventually, this decline could lead to the end of life on our planet for all living species. The function of conservation and protection of these native bird species is becoming increasingly more crucial to their survival as the majority of the New Zealand birds still present are migratory or flightless.
The “Fauna of Feathers” project addresses the city of Auckland’s dearth of avian conservation and protection facilities. A hypothetical architectural approach would focus on giving back to native species and the environment whilst also allowing a wide range of professions access to education opportunities. A comprehensive analysis of the conservation and sustainability of native fauna and flora, biodiversity, ornithology and biophilic design through literature and precedent reviews will be conducted in order to create a responsive architectural outcome that takes into account the natural environment.
