Pigeon Hole is a box in a box and a space to take a rest / make a nest.It is a monument for pigeons in form of mini-architecture using a mapping of standard tile facades.But the modernist desire towards the perfect cleanness will not have effect on pigeons.

(V E R B)
The way we think is to categorize the world and press complexity into understandable size.Our brain follows such a process without any doubt, therefore uniqueness disappears and simplicity remains.Something unrecognizable is quickly labelled and put it into a box. Our brain is not capable of handling complicated individual thoughts. Furthermore is communication easier, if we share mutual categories. But is this world such a simple way?
