Conservatorio

A terrace in Lima turned into a refuge for birds, born from the curiosity of an artist and an architect.

During the global pause, artist Kristie Arias and Sergio Guzmán, director of the architecture firm Méctamo, noticed some unexpected neighbors: the birds in the trees nearby. Curiosity turned into close observation of their habits. The terrace became a bridge between nature and the city, planted with native species and fitted with handmade feeders for thrushes, chiscos, buttercups, and hummingbirds. Conservatorio grew out of that attention: a project that invites everyone to look closer and reconnect with the living world around them.

“Dancing in a circle, jumping rhythmically, no one is the first or the last. Everyone jumps at the same time, at an increasingly faster pace. A sense of infinity is born from this human ring that turns and jumps, turns and jumps, turns and jumps. In the origins of writing, we find the circle in almost all alphabets or ideograms; these signs are also common in the strokes of preschool children, in illiterate adults, and the drawings of prehistoric human beings.
