NESTS

i love the idea of birds nests, as a structure in themselves and also as a deomonstration of how any materials can be bought together to from a totally solid form..





these are replicas of weaver birds nests but obviously greatly scaled up..it could also be an interesting way of approaching building things we don't quite know how to make - if we look at existing structures and apply them to what we want to do..plus they look super fun to sit in





ARTIST: BENJAMIN VERDONCK
made this nest on a side of a building in Rotterdam in 6 weeks using these materials..

The crowns of twenty-three silver birches. one birch one willow two straw bales one bucket of spit three bags of sand twelve buckets of glue nineteen cans of polyurethane foam







also interesting but a bit wierd is
