Solana Open Aviary by ecoLogicStudio, on show in the Montenegro Pavilion at the Venice Architectural Biennale 2016 proposes to redevelop the artificial territory formerly occupied by the salt production plant near Ulcinj into an augmented ornithological park where it will be possible to study, experience and affect the co-evolution of humans and birds.

In the words of the curators: “With a surface of 14,9 km2 Solana is one of the largest saline of the Mediterranean region. It is of local, national and international importance. The saline is a completely man-made, artificial landscape founded in the nineteen twenties, which turned into a biotope of global importance. It is a landscape with a high cultural value and hosts a unique biodiversity in flora and fauna. The Project Solana Ulcinj for the Venice Architectural Biennale 2016 takes the challenge to come up with new proposals how to save the important ecological position of the Solana Ulcinj and the unique cultural qualities of the landscape, while at the same time enabling and regulating economic interests in the area.”

Open Aviary is the key design concept for the project supported by the possibility to digitally manage global migratory fluxes of birds to promote the emergence of a new concept of natural reserve, a boundless, open and networked man-made ecosystem. Along this line of thinking the project Solana Open Aviary proposes to redevelop the artificial territory formerly occupied by the salt production plant near Ulcinj into what would be the world’s first Open Aviary, an augmented ornithological park where to study, experience and affect the co-evolution of humans and birds.
