BIOPHILIA TREEHOUSE
Our project Biophilia Treehouse responds to the LA County Sustainability Plan Goal #5: Thriving ecosystems, habitats, and biodiversity.
Biophilia means the love of living things. Biophilia Treehouses are lush, vibrant, tree-like living sculptures that soar into the sky, inviting an abundance of birds to co-create places where they can rest, feed, nest and, in essence, make them a recurring home. These scalable, lightweight structures hold a myriad of native plants and are also places for Angelenos to contemplate, observe and reconnect to nature.
We are focusing on birds because they are indicators of the overall health of an ecosystem. Goal # 5 is vital because urbanization and climate change are threatening the region’s ecosystems, habitats, and biodiversity. LA county is the birdiest county in the US and yet, the county is also home to the largest set of threatened and endangered animals and plants in the country. There is great loss of green space for birds and Angelinos alike, especially in poor, underserved and under resourced communities. Our project ‘Biophilia Treehouse’ addresses this environmental inequity.
