Creature Comforts: Cabins for Animals in SF’s Presidio

Author:

Over the next year, anyone exploring San Francisco’s Presidio may encounter some unconventional sights, from blue-and-white porcelain vessels perched in cypress trees to a mini modernist cabin with a triangular form. Presidio Habitats is a year-long exhibition, featuring 11 animal habitats by artists and designers, aimed at drawing attention to repopulation efforts. The porcelain vessels are by Chinese artist Ai Weiwei and are meant to house the Western screech owl, while Danish architectural firm CEBRA designed the modernist cabin for the gray fox.
