Last year we linked the architecture firm, MAKE Architecture, with the non-profit community group, Friends of Westgate Park (FOWP), to create a Birdhide in the inner-metropolitan park under the Westgate Bridge, Melbourne.
The park is popular with bird observers and FOWP felt there was a need to build facilities to provide close viewing opportunities for park visitors, bird observers, school groups and others. When complete the proposal will benefit the environment, local birdlife as well as local communities who use the area.
MAKE originally set up this project as a summer school design studio at RMIT which was presented in February 2008.
