ANGLES |

The Milwaukee Art Museum recently expanded with a glass building on the Lake Michigan shore. The design choices make it very bird-safe. The museum building features angles in every section. Research has shown that 40 degree angles are safest for birds. The museum closes the wings [right] at night (when birds are migrating along the shoreline). For more photos of the museum, check their website at www.mam.org . |

ANGLES AND GLASS CHOICES |
AWNINGS |
 |
 |
| Soldier Field: The subject of much controversy, but not for birds. The design has been confirmed to be bird-safe. Note that the windows do not reflect the sky. | Awnings are excellent for bird-safety. Note the use of awnings to put a break in the windows in this corporate campus facility. |

SUN SHUTTERS |

Passive solar controls are bird safe too. |
