I understand your desire to be conscientious and hygienic. And in the case you have highly contagious leprosy on the backs of your thighs, I commend your consideration of others. Maybe you’re some alpha female who has to mark her territory. Or perhaps your trainer told you it was a good way to strengthen your core. But I’m afraid none of these are true. I’m afraid instead your prudish grandmother told you when you were 5 that you would get herpes or AIDS or pregnant if you did. And you still believe her. Well, I’ve done some research on public restrooms, even talked to doctors, and I can safely say that you’re 100 times more likely to get sick from holding the pole on the subway than sitting on that seat. Actually there are no diseases you can contract from sitting on a toilet seat, especially one in an office building such as ours. And although I am aware that urine is sterile, that doesn’t mean I’d like to sit in yours with my naked thighs. This unfortunate circumstance could simply be avoided if you’d simply get over your hangups and have a seat yourself. Or if you simply can’t bear to sit where other thighs have sat (I assume you never wear a skirt on the subway), please lift the seat if you’re only using it to catch your overspray. It’s called a restroom, I’d like to rest.

You say goodbye, I say hello….

As seasoned architects to the birds, we at Specht Harpman have made the classic modern architecture maxim “bring the outside in” accessible to the bird phylum. With Barkitecture, your common tree-dwelling bird can unsuspectingly pass through a magical portal to go where no bird has gone before. Camouflaged on the outside as a bark-covered trunk, on the inside the camouflage is reversed, as mirrors give the bird the impression that they are outside again, in the company of hundreds of other birds!

Designed for Hello Birdie! a yearly gala for Uplift Austin, taking place on September 30th.

**Disclaimer: it is highly recommended that Barkitecture not be placed in a location where birds may have access to psychedelic mushrooms (such as rainforests or near the Burning Man festival). We cannot be responsible for any hallucinogenic interactions the birds may experience.
