Now on view in Chicago! Our new exhibition, “Flyway City: Architecture for a Flourishing Ecosystem,” is open at the Chicago Architecture Center. This show is a passion project for Jeanne and The Studio Gang team that draws on more than 20 years of work on bird-safe design. Combining art and science, it aims to inspire visitors to take action on saving birds from colliding with building glass, an urgent problem that kills more than 1 billion birds each year in the US alone.
Original drawings, multimedia, architectural models, animal specimens, and material samples illustrate how birds interact with the built environment and reveal a range of effective actions that anyone can take to protect birds and create healthier urban ecosystems for all. From low-cost DIY solutions to professional design to policy change, the exhibit highlights how creativity and community arise when we come together to protect the amazing animals who share our cities.
“Flyway City” and its companion exhibition, “Chicago’s Living Habitat,” co-curated with , is on view until January 2027. Head to the link in our bio to plan your visit.
