A pandemic, which is the result of land-use change, deforestation and trade in wildlife, is the latest evidence that unsustainable human activity is “pushing over the edge” of the planet’s natural systems that support life on Earth.
Camouflage: We studied bird’s eye: Birds generally have very sharp vision and can also be intimidating the movement of people. So note the cabins have to camouflage the people inside. This means using a high window (1.6 m. from ground level) and some reflective glass so that the visitor can look outside but the birds can’t. Cabin shape: Inspired by the flamingo, the dominant species in the region. The shape of the cabins is a flamingo. The zigzag plan of the cabin on the floor is derived from “flamingo curve”, which is the curve of its neck. The watchtower is inspired by the legs of a flamingo and its angle is a stand between them. Finally, the floating cabin is inspired by the flamingo’s wing and its feathers allow them to float in the air. The winding path: We want the visitor to see everything around him and be watched. Therefore, we designed a winding path in order to cuddle the birds, let them enter and facilitate observation. The visitor can enjoy the natural path that sometimes walks in the water so that they can closely observe the environment
The World Wide Fund for Nature is calling for architects WWF The main organizer of the competition is the World Wide Fund for Nature, which has been calling for more than two years softly about the behaviors most harmful to the environment, poaching and soil displacement operations and ways of dealing with nature inappropriately have made nature reserves in a major global threat and in attempts that may be considered like a clash With society and some parties that do not appreciate nature and that this life needs more consideration and bringing in new minds, international architects and architecture stars in order to come up with architectural solutions that ensure the proper functioning of society in cooperation with nature reserves Nature reserve design goal Our main goal in joining this type of architectural project is that the design of the nature reserve is one of the distinctive challenges. It is a bit complicated. You may notice this by dealing with the terrain and trying to understand the mood of the animals and birds that inhabit the nature reserve and make the user experience and The visitor is a unique experience every day because the reserve at the end of the day should focus on the biological development in the area and this should not disturb the wildlife that is destined to thrive and grow on the sides of the nature reserves.

Architectural design philosophy of the nature reserve Here we headed directly towards traditional architecture and we clearly went to meet and study the pattern of birds and lives in the nature reserve, adding a large size and a new architectural body to the nature that makes up the nature reserve will be something that is not welcome for animals and birds, and this is not what We want to reach it in the end, by looking at the voices of the Global Environment Fund, you will see that the Fund is “struggling” over the years to improve the relationship with the damaged environment, and this is what we have set among our goals. In how to create new spaces in which animals can interact with humans through the reserve and while studying the printer of the pitter, which is a sensitive, intelligent bird and has strong vision at night, we chose the shape of a zigzag design for a path and walk for passers-by and visitors so that the birds crawl within the forests that Therefore, it embraces the birds, and visitors to the nature reserve can look at them with ease and without disturbing the birds, hence the name, the embrace of nature
