Children's drawings become sculptural birdhouses in Cambodia workshop

Designer Taekhan Yun led the 'Birdhouse by Kids' workshop in Siem Reap, Cambodia, where 90 children translated their drawings and clay models into functional birdhouses. The project began with an introduction to local bird species and basic birdhouse typologies. Children developed individual responses through drawing and clay modeling, which were then built using wood, cardboard, and paper. Finishing stages involved crayons and acrylic lacquer. The resulting birdhouses combine functional requirements with sculptural variation, installed at the children's school and on trees. The initiative extends Yun's previous 'Chair for Kids' workshop, shifting from human-centered design to designing for birds.
