Nesting Plan II Green-backed Tit
size | 5*5*3.3 m
material | Japanese cedar, larch plywood, natural weathering wood oil, stainless steel, white rope
Taking its name from the distinguishing yellow-green feathers running down its back, the Green-backed Tit inhabits forests in mid-to-high altitude mountains. One of the many endemic bird species of Taiwan, they can often be spotted around Sun Moon Lake. Highly-skilled in building bowl-shaped nests in cliff walls or in tree holesevery spring, the Green-backed Tit usesa variety of materials including moss, usnea, animal hair, bark or leaves and sticks.
The Nesting Plan, created by Taiwanese artist, Cheng Tsung FENG, mimics its nest-building style from nature’s animal master architects. At Sun Moon Lake, FENG studied how Green-backed Tits constructed their nests and reproduced their nesting process and method. FENG then interpreted this delicate technique to construct a resting nest using human woodworking skills which welcomes travelers ashore at Ita Thau Pier, stunning lakes and imposing mountains echoing off each other makes Sun Moon Lake a place well worth visiting.

築巢計畫II青背山雀
尺寸 | 5*5*3.3 m
材質 | 台灣國產柳杉、落羽松合板、天然耐候護木油、不鏽鋼、白繩
來自山林間的青背山雀，是棲息於中高海拔山區的台灣特有亞種雀鳥，因黃綠色的背部羽毛而得名青背山雀，在日月潭也能見到牠們。在每年春天，青背山雀會尋覓岩壁縫隙與樹洞作為巢位，以苔蘚、松蘿、獸毛、樹皮、枝葉等材料編織成碗狀的巢窩。
台灣藝術家范承宗的築巢計畫，向自然裡的動物建築師學習築巢，這次他在日月潭的創作關注著青背山雀的築巢方式，將其築巢的流程與方法，以人類的木繩構造技藝詮釋，在伊達邵碼頭為登岸的旅人築起一座小歇片刻的巢。
