Birds of Calgary

The design of the utility box aims to represent the beauty of nature within the Brentwood community while also educating people about the place we live. Brentwood is a neighbourhood known for its pleasant environment, where residents enjoy shade and tranquillity. Many people in the area love to bike, walk and run, taking advantage of the natural surroundings. The community is also close to the university, attracting a relatively younger population. With both elementary and high schools in the vicinity, many families with children also call this area home. To reflect these aspects, I incorporated an educational element into the utility box design. I created an interactive game for passersby — especially children, their families or anyone with a sense of curiosity. The challenge is to see who can name the most popular birds in Calgary. I have illustrated these birds on the other sides of the box, making it more than just a decorative piece; it becomes an engaging and educational feature that brings joy and knowledge to the community.
