Common swift is one of the most common synanthrope species who lives in the anthropogenic space. They originally belongs to the cliff inhabitants, since the increased castle construction in middle age, they envolved to synanthrope species.
The swift hotel is an replacement of the old nest, which are destroyed during the renovation or demolishment.
Common swift only recognizes the same breeding site, and even won’t forget their nest during the migration to Afrika. Once they lost the breeding site because of a renovation or demolishment, it tooks long until they will find a new one and won’t return the old place again.
The constant decrease in breeding sites ineviably leads to a population decline of common swift.
Species protection is not only about providing spaces, but also a social political awareness to be adapted to a new order.
This consciousness embodies as a political entity, appears in social activities, involving in the decision-making process and empowers the nonhuman.
The place to identify the nonhuman actors is an engagement with the detail of the world and a start of an interdisciplinary collaboration.
the swift aspect should become to an social aspect which keeps questioning the intension of every conventional human-centered design.
