Chicago Architecture Center Showcases Bird-Safe Building Designs
The Chicago Architecture Center is hosting an exhibit titled 'Flyway City,' co-curated by Studio Gang, focusing on bird-safe building designs. The exhibit highlights the importance of designing buildings that prevent bird collisions, a significant issue as over a billion birds die annually from glass collisions in the U.S. The exhibit features innovative designs that incorporate glass treated with patterned dots, which are visible to birds but nearly invisible to humans. This initiative is part of a broader effort to make Chicago's architecture more bird-friendly, especially given the city's location on the Mississippi Flyway, a major migratory route.
