ARST 436: Architecture II (SplitFrame)

Assistant Professor of Art & Art History Elijah Huge designed a Feet to the Fire module in ARST436 Architecture II where students studied bird migration habits in order to inform a design/build of a bird-blind that was unveiled at the Feet to the Fire Festival and permanently installed at the Helen Carlson Wildlife Sanctuary in Portland, CT. Bird migration is one of the most observable changes of human impact on the earth. Over the last 15 years, ornithologists have shown bird migration consistent with global climate changes. Huge partnered with two scientists: Patricia Brennan, Ph.D., a post-doctoral researcher in ecology at Yale; and Kristof Zykowski, Ph.D., Collections Manager at Yales Peabody Museum.
