鸟类学家的梦想：一个完全为观鸟而建的家
An ornithologist's dream: this home is entirely engineered around bird watching

澳大利亚Blight, Blight & Blight工作室设计的住宅以“观鸟”为主题，挑战了传统的住宅结构。这座鸟舍坐落在澳大利亚艾文霍（Ivanhoe）的自然保护区旁边，设计师拆除了所有的篱笆，让茂密的植被环绕生长。为了更好地欣赏鸟类，建筑的每个部分都经过仔细地构思，门窗和家具的形式都经过精挑细选，尽可能地满足观鸟和摄影的需求。

Australia-based studio Blight, Blight & Blight challenges traditional home configurations with a house shaped around its owners’ passion: bird watching. Located in Ivanhoe, Australia, the birdhouse sits next to a nature reserve, existing as an extension of it by eliminating all fences and allowing intense vegetation to grow around it. Its every part is strategically designed to maximize opportunities for bird watching and photography, rearranging the form of windows and furnishings in order to stage the presence of birds in and around the house.

Blight, Blight & Blight 工作室为了使拍摄照片的条件达到最优，进行了细致的设计，其中包括背景、舞台、相机、伪装。“在鸟类照片里，我们会注意到这只动物本身，但其实在现实中，这张照片的背后布置了一堆看不见的设备。”建筑师解释说，若要将这与日常生活的细节进行对比，就好像照片中展示的内容与肉眼所见多少有些不同。为了与场地结合，这栋建筑的外墙上覆盖着一堆树木，这既保证了建筑的可持续，又能在视觉上将房屋与自然保护区联系起来。此外，这也是一种吸引更多鸟类栖息在屋外的方法，甚至以前居住在这些树上的昆虫已被建筑所吸引。

Blight, Blight & Blight has carefully designed the birdhouse to optimize the conditions of taking a good photograph – the backdrop, the stage, the camera, the camouflage. ‘In a photograph of a bird, the animal itself commands our attention, but in reality the photo relies on a whole bunch of invisible equipment,’ the studio explains while comparing the bird to details of our lives that take center-stage, such as the content an electronic device displays versus the actual object. The building’s façade is clad in logs of trees that fell to clear the site, which is both sustainable and visually ties the house back to the nature reserve. In addition, it’s a way to attract more birds to perch on the outside of the house since the type of insects that formerly inhabited these trees will be attracted to them again.
