Design firm Nendo has created a massive tree house dubbed “bird apartment,” in which visitors to the natural sanctuary can climb in and observe 78 mini-birdhouses through peep-holes. From the front, the structure resembles an urban apartment complex, except it’s entirely out of place perched high in a tree.

A slightly precarious-looking ladder
connects the back of it to the ground,

allowing one visitor at a time to climb up

and observe each apartment unit
through the tiny holes.

The BirdApartment is located in the
Ando Momofuku Center,
Komoro, Nagano Prefecture, Japan
Komoro, Nagano Prefecture, Japan
A nature conservatory named after Momofuku Ando, .Mr. Cup Noodle, founder of Nissin Food Products Co., Ltd.
The center certainly is known for for it's design as its main facility is a stunning structure ...
and for my architect friend Carrol, it was
designed by Kengo Kuma.
The Brain Chemistry of Collage
* In Kolaj #24, author, mental health professional, and collage artist Laurie Kanyer considers what is going on in the brain when an artist is making collage.
When an artist creates a collage, they use areas of the brain and body systems that calm the body and tap into creative problem solving.
Additionally, collage making meets emotional needs, providing the artist a tool to identify and express feelings and life experiences. By making a collage, people do not have to be emotionally constipated. It provides provides a way to put into the world events that are too hard or possibly even unsafe to speak out loud. The benefit of the symbolic representation of a feeling is that the creator can express, see and share that feeling in a collage.
Interesting?
Just because ...

This collage - excellent!
I loved to read what's going on in the brain when creating a collage.
I feel happy when I make collages. Could we add " making collages" to the Tiny Happy Things? What do you think, Jacki.
PS. We do have candles at home for the case of a blackout but I never had experienced one before that had lasted so long.
Yes, definitely. Collage is good for your health!
