Bird-watching pavilions by Plant Architect are made from perforated plates of weathering steel

16 May 2016

Plant Architect has used weathering steel to create a series of wing-like structures for bird watchers in a Toronto park, which are punctured with both patterns and information about local species (+ slideshow).

Located in the city's East Point Park Bird Sanctuary, structures were completed by the Toronto-based firm as part of a local initiative to protect and promote bird habitats.

The scheme comprises a main viewing space, a bird blind and two entry signposts. These are all made from weathering steel – the pre-rusted metal often referred to by the brand name Corten.
