Work: One day someone made a wall, it was cold, sad and dead, over time, the sparrows made it his home. They lived there, raising, flying, singing, and the wall became something joyful and full of life! But one day, someone decided to restore the wall, and plug all the holes where they lived sparrows, Wall turned to gray, cold and sad! Then we showed up, and decided to put colored nests where it were the holes, and asked the sparrows to come back, and they have came back!! We give them the nests, they give us everything else, and the city appreciate it!

Dom Arquitectura was so sad to see the neighborhood sparrows disappear after their popular hang out – a Barcelona wall full of holes – was renovated, that the design team decided to install a series of brightly colored urban nests when the renovation was complete. In order to attach the nests to the wall, it was necessary for Mikel Elorduy, Blaca Elorduy, and Pablo Serrano to rappel off the side of it – but it was worth it because the sparrows came back! Now the Barrio de Gracia has a charming series of tiny yellow, green, and brown nests and some pretty birds to match.

L’agence espagnole Dom Arquitectura nous fait découvrir son installation urbaine “Urban Nest”. Sur un mur aveugle d’un immeuble du Barrio de Gracia à Barcelone, Mikel Elorduy, Blanca Elorduy et Pablo Serrano ont accroché de petits nichoirs en bois peints. Destinée à accueillir les oiseaux au coeur de la ville, l’installation anime une façade jusqu’alors laissée vierge.
Sur ce projet, Mikel Elorduy, Blanca Elorduy et Pablo Serrano précisent:

В Испании в населенных пунктах становится все меньше воробьев. Вот для того, чтобы обратить внимание на эту проблему, а также, чтобы вернуть миниатюрных птичек, ребята из барселонской студии Dom Arquitectura создали необычную инсталляцию с названием Urban Nests.
В Dom Arquitectura считают, что без живности, города даже «бетонными джунглями» назвать нельзя. Потому и была создана инсталляция Urban Nests Городские Гнезда, представляющая собой двадцать деревянных скворечников, прикрепленных к глухой стене одного из домов в районе Барселоны с названием Баррио-де-Грасия. Скворечники эти выполнены в зеленом, желтом и коричневом цветах. Это сделано для того, чтобы разнообразить визуальный образ барселонских задворков, а также, чтобы привлечь птиц (ученые доказали, что пернатых при выборе места для жизни привлекают именно эти цвета).
