Air Pressure
In the lobbies of 13 downtown Toronto office buildings you’ll find an unusual sight: Blue bird installations. Called Air Pressure, they were developed for Earth Week and will remain where they are until this Friday. The birds were designed by Studio F Minus and commissioned by Oxford Properties with the purpose to address the importance of clean air while raising awareness about bird deaths that result from collisions with office tower windows.
Each structure consists of reusable materials that will eventually be recycled after the installation is dissembled. The low-power LED lights that illuminate the sculptures consume less energy than an incandescent desk lamp.
Studio F Minus’ flying blue birds can be found in the lobbies of these buildings:
- Royal Bank Plaza, North and South Towers, 200 Bay Street
- Sun Life Financial Centre, 150 King Street West
