Beehives
Ford wanted to bring attention to their efforts to revitalize the local bee population. Though mainly aesthetic (there is a standard beehive box which was asked to be unchanged), the design does block wind for the beekeeper. The exterior pattern was created using Grasshopper for Rhino.
This won 1st place in Ford Design’s global competition. 6 were built in at WHQ in Dearborn, MI.
