An old
Indian man has the habits to get up early to cook pots of rice for his pet
birds. The 62 years old man normally wakes up around 4:00pm to look after their
pet birds, which is roughly 4000 pet birds to be exact. Almost everyone knows
about the tsunami struck in Asia ten years ago, he’s the resident of Chennai
India, and worked as a camera repairman, he noticed two green parakeets perched
on his back porch. Initially he thought, that these birds may have been
displaced due to natural disaster, which was right later on, and he decided to
give them a loving home. As the time goes, he started to think about increase
the number of birds and new pets nested and started a family. Therefore, after
even more time passed, this feathered family grew considerably to include about
4,000 birds. The big issue was to arrange food for them, then Sekar decided to
spends more than 40% of his income to purchase their food, which adds up to an
impressive amount of rice. He has arranged cooking their two daily meals; the kindhearted
man serves his exotic birds on the roof of his home. It's no wonder why
neighbors kindly refer to Sekar as "Birdman."

Rain Water Gives a New Life to Street Murals
“PANTONE” in the recent times
collaborated with the School of the Art Institute of Chicago's designers and
art directors to transform Seoul, Korea's streets during the dreary monsoon
season. The suitably titled “Project Monsoon” venture bring into being with the
artistic team painting Seoul's somber roads with “hydrochromic paint”, which is
a type of paint that changes from transparent to opaque when it gets wet and form
into flamboyant murals inspired by South Korean culture. Therefore, East Asian
customs emphasized on the river and its stylish flow, which is precisely what
the designers required to capture in their public works of art.
These cheerful
pieces are then surprisingly revealed as rain falls from the cheerless gray sky
and the water droplets come in contact with the ground. Consequently, among a
gloomy rainstorm, passersby are given a bit to smile about as an underwater
world filled with swimming fish and turtles appear right before their very
eyes. However, since it can rain for up to three weeks during monsoon season,
the inhabitants of Seoul will have something to look forward to whenever they
find themselves reaching for their umbrellas.

HQ
Architects developed a wonderful public installation that provides an artistic
aesthetic to the environment through playfully responsive design. The Warde
project, located in Jerusalem's Vallero Square an urban area that's in really
bad condition is being given a set of towering flower sculptures, big adequate
to draw the gaze of the whole plaza. So, rather than fighting against the
marketplace's metropolitan nature, designers sought to work in accord with the
municipality. These massive blossoms are motion-activated, which means that
they bloom when pedestrians walk by or when trolleys arrive. To flawlessly
describe their installation, HQ Architects says, the urban space abruptly
reacts to the people using it therefore; people can also utilize the flowers
for shade from the sun or for light when dark time’s approaches. Moreover, once
the square is no longer busy with people, the flowers wilt and close, their
lively petals resting until the next surge of action within their vicinity
inspire them to bloom once more.
