About the project (provided by the applicant)
Three towers appeared in the Nikola-Lenivets art park as part of the Earth’s Houses project: Insect Phalanstery, Bird Bell Tower, and Theater of Nature, each offering a unique way to connect with the natural world. In the Insect Phalanstery, visitors can immerse themselves in the soothing hum of bees and other insects. The Bird Bell Tower invites guests to ascend to its peak and leave treats for birds, accompanied by the melodies of their songs. Meanwhile, the Theater of Nature offers a peaceful spot to admire a forest panorama, while sitting on special pot chairs. These towers, crafted from reclaimed windows, doors, and other elements, blend human life with nature. The Earth’s Houses project showcases an innovative vision of architecture, designed for the harmonious coexistence of both people and the natural world, and brought to life through the collaboration of artists, beekeepers, and other professionals.
