Project size: 30,000 sq. ft.
Client: The Calgary Zoo
This
exhibit showcases the habitats and wildlife of the African rainforest
in a total immersion experience with few apparent barriers between
visitors and animals. An indoor facility provides a total rainforest
simulation as natural light filters through a canopy of African trees
and plants. The design of all behind-the-scenes facilities involved
extensive collaboration with zoo keepers and curators, resulting in
significant improvements over existing facilities and enhanced convenience
of daily tasks.
