Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

The TreeHugger insect hotel is a `prototypical urban intervention’ (Doherty, 2005) to support local bio-tope project called COLridor in the city centre of Prague. It generates micro-climatically heterogeneous spaces for different kinds of insects’ dwellings. This is done due to the different warping of the panels coming from different position of the tree trunk. The wood cut in tangential section from the centre of the tree trunk warps much more than the samples of its edge (Hoadley, 1980). The different insect kinds choose their separate chambers, distributed under the diverse petals along the tree. These are opened to all world axis climates and therefore they offer better variety of climatic preferences. Behind that space, there is a vegetation layer of the tree as a living insulator and moderator. The project of COLridor and specifically this insect hotel, is to support the concept of edible landscape, generating food namely for local bats and birds. We also expect the algae habitation for enriching the performance of it. Together with our seed bombs intervention that generates food for insects, this project interacts with urban eco-system as a small intervention with larger impact. This trans-disciplinary community `co-design’ (Sanders & Stappers, 2008) project is engaging whole eco-system for the co-creation as well as for co-habitation across biotic and abiotic agents, including human societies of wide spectre. This first dwelling application of `responsive wood’ research and Ray project is a part of `non-anthropocentric architecture’, generating urban ecologies.
