Abstract

Biodiversity and especially avian diversity, plays a significant role in both ecosystem health and resilience. This commentary reviews the complex interrelationship between biodiversity conservation and architectural practice, specifically hospitality-related infrastructure such as hotels and museums. With urbanization endangering numerous species and environments, it's important to know how architectural design can both inhibit or spur bird populations. This review presents an overview of existing literature about Biodiversity Inclusive Design (BID) and its implications in the built environment on avian species. It points out gaps in current research, stressing the call for interdisciplinary, ecological, and architectural integration. This review analyses both case studies the theoretical frameworks in order to provide recommendations for emerging best practice in the areas of urban development and biodiversity conservation
