A gleaming white cube that the Turner prize winner Jeremy Deller calls "a luxury hotel for bats" will be unveiled today to mark the centenary of the birth of the naturalist and wildlife artist Sir Peter Scott.
The box, which has an invisible black roof to make the interior warmer, is built of Hemcrete, an environmentally friendly mixture of hemp fibre and lime that holds layers of computer-cut fretwork panels, which are not just decorative but incorporate the small, dry, dark spaces bats love.
"It's great," Deller said. "I wouldn't mind living there myself." - guardian
