Buildings globally cause billions of bird deaths each year. This research project explores how birdwatching can enhance access to and conservation of avian habitats. It focuses on Rainham Marshes as a potential site for a programme of recreational architecture designed specifically for birdwatching activities. The project emphasises the connection between birdwatching and our spatial experience, shaping the design approach. It delves into the birdwatching and avian community at Rainham Marshes, aiming to design architecture that provides curated views of the landscape while immersing us within it. The research considers the site, London, and the broader context at local and global scales. Thatch is incorporated as a sensitive material choice. The buildings mediate different ways of seeing and birdwatching, offering varying levels of intimacy with the avian life.
