Behavior Active during the day and inactivtive at nig ht to conserve energy. When males are not feeding or performing, they often sit fairly high in a bush or small tree, noisily chattering. These hummingbirds are non-monogamous, meaning they mate with more than one hummingbird per season. Females will only care for the juveniles.
Design Process
Lightness Catwalk lifts the individual, so you ‘fly’ above the habitat.
Landscape Design
Movement
This Garden will use the principal of contrast to feature two landscapes found in Arizona. The hummingbird habitat is located on an existing riparian environment.
Each deck becomes a flower the guest will ‘fly’ to each, like a hummingbird.
The moment an individual has stepped into this garden they should immediately feel they have stepped into a different world. Winding allees will allow the guest to stroll between each of the species or connect to one of the surrounding smaller observation decks. The project pays homage to the different biomes found in Arizona while creating a habitat both hummingbirds and humans alike can share.
