ANTWERP THE EXPERIENCE OF NON 2من اصل2

-TRADITIONAL IN THE OLDEST ZOOS IN THE WORLD
The building touches the ground with massive columns creating a sort of
cave that the primates use as a shelter.
To the South, the savannah landscape sits 5 meters lower than the
restaurant floor, allowing visitors to admire the buffalos and birds through
large glass panes. Plants were selected that are indigenous to various places
and will provide shelter and food to the birds. A special passageway runs
under the restaurant building, connecting the primate shelter to the North
with the buffalos’ and birds’ environment to the South and allowing
glimpses of the surrounding habitat through a series of windows.
Completed in June 2017, the new facilities in the Antwerp Zoo have
recorded increasing visitor numbers, the public being especially enthusiastic
about their unusual zoo experience. Studio Farris and its consultants were
able to effectively respond to the complex needs of the animals, visitors and
commercial operations of the zoo.
