Tatiana Bilbao ESTUDIO by Helene Schauer

Native Flora Garden
Tatiana Bilbao ESTUDIO’s Forest of Spaces is inspired by the relation between fauna, flora, humans, and architecture, what they describe as “a coexistence and cohabitation on equal terms.” Made from steel and terrazzo, five birdhouses establish a “neighborhood” of architecture and nature. Each individual birdhouse offers viewers opposing spatial qualities: enclosed/visible, grounded/exposed, introverted/open, loud/quiet, and connective/protective.
