Billions of birds collide with glass buildings – but architecture has solutions

A paradigm of architectural modernism, McCormick Place was built in stages from 1960 to 2017, and is a steel, concrete and glass behemoth.

Key Points: 
  • A paradigm of architectural modernism, McCormick Place was built in stages from 1960 to 2017, and is a steel, concrete and glass behemoth.
  • One way to prevent bird strikes is to pay more attention to the design of glass buildings in cities.
  • Its wave-like facade and fritted glass were in part designed to stop birds flying into the building’s windows.
  • Fritted glass is printed with ink and contains ultra-small particles of ground-up glass, giving it a frosted or otherwise slightly opaque appearance.

Bird-safe glass

    • In tandem with the fritted glass, the reflective qualities and hard edges of the glass are dampened, helping to prevent confusion, particularly at night.
    • Hwang temporarily applied patterns to the windows of the Sullivan Center in Chicago, ostensibly to deter birds from flying into the glass, but also to add aesthetic interest to the material itself.
    • More easily applied design solutions include bird-friendly film: a laminate of dots applied to glass to help birds see windows as objects rather than transparent, which minimises the risk of collision.

Lights out

    • The birds are drawn to the four-mile high beams of light, veering off their migratory routes and becoming trapped by the spectacle.
    • In 2020, the decision was made to periodically switch off the lights and then restart them so that, even if the birds become disorientated, they can recover and continue on their way.
    • A 2021 study carried out in Chicago demonstrated the wider application of this principle: by shutting off half the lights in larger buildings at night, bird collisions can be reduced by anything from six- to 11-fold.
    • Many courtrooms, libraries and public schools in the city already turn off their lights during the bird migration season.

Actors are demanding that Hollywood catch up with technological changes in a sequel to a 1960 strike

For the first time since 1960, actors and screenwriters are on strike at the same time.

Key Points: 
  • For the first time since 1960, actors and screenwriters are on strike at the same time.
  • Screenwriters, who have been on strike since May 2, have similar concerns.
  • Premieres are being canceled, and Emmy-nominated actors aren’t campaigning for those prestigious TV awards.

Rewind to the rise of TV

    • The first hit shows on TV aired in the mid-1940s, but actors initially earned far less from television than movies.
    • Around 1960, with the advent of hits like “Leave It to Beaver,” “Beverly Hillbillies” and “Bonanza,” TV became very profitable.
    • Actors demanded that their craft be compensated for TV shows about as highly as for their film appearances.
    • Residuals are a form of royalty paid to actors when movies and TV shows air on television after their initial run.

Fast-forward to 2023

    • People consume different types of media through subscriptions and streaming technology than they do while watching broadcast TV and cable television.
    • Actors and writers are concerned that their compensation hasn’t kept up with this transformation.
    • And the actors who are on strike argue that the formulas in place since 1960 to calculate residuals don’t work anymore.

Ejecting regularly scheduled shows

    • That’s because streamers started making shows with lower budgets, as it costs less to produce fewer episodes.
    • Since actors are typically paid per episode in which they perform, their salaries have dropped by virtue of having fewer appearances in even the most popular shows.
    • Another change has to do with the question of whether particular shows will keep going.
    • And their contracts often stop them from working on other shows between seasons.

Will AI erase actors?

    • Without a contract that says otherwise, once a studio films an actor, it can potentially use the actor’s likeness in perpetuity.
    • It is dystopian.” Until now, actors and writers say, the studios have refused to negotiate over AI with actors or writers.
    • But both unions see AI as a threat to their members’ livelihoods, a point SAG-AFTRA President Fran Drescher made on MSNBC.

No ‘pause’ for widening inequality gap

    • The gulf between what actors and top executives earn is a major difference between today’s actors and writer strikes and the 1960 strikes.
    • In 1965, executives made 15 times the average salary of their workers.
    • By 2021 those top execs were earning 350 times more than the average worker – including actors.

Watching union action on repeat

    • From Starbucks baristas to Amazon’s union organizers to the workers planning the pending UPS strike, more and more Americans are fighting for higher wages and more control over their schedules.
    • In fighting threats to their livelihoods, actors and screenwriters are the latest example of a national movement for stronger labor rights.
