Arquitectura Viva 206 - Hogares Animales. Diez Experiencias De Tschumi A Snohetta

Addressing the needs of animals is a functionalist challenge but also a good opportunity to shed prejudices and explore forms and materials. This is well demonstrated in the ten examples selected for this issue: the new Paris Zoological Park, by Bernard Tschumi; the enlargement and new aviary of Antwerp Zoo, by Studio Farris; the habitat for orangutans in Barcelona Zoo, by Forgas Arquitectes; the lemur exhibit in Melbourne Zoo, by OLA architecture; the equestrian ranch in the Mexican city of Puebla, by Manuel Cervantes; the urban beehive in Olso, by Snohetta, and others.
