The Hear Heres by Studio WeaveInnovative British design firm <a href="http://inhabitat.com/tag/studio-weave/" target="_blank">Studio Weave</a> has wowed us again with an amazing outdoor installation called <a href="http://khooll.com/post/32194309705/the-hear-heres" target="_blank">"The Hear Heres."</a> While the title may be confusing, the aim of the project certainly is not. The firm has erected a handful of large trumpet horns throughout a country estate in England that point toward different parts of nature. Visitors can truly get in touch with their surroundings by lending an ear to the fun structures and capturing the sounds of the great outdoors.1
