This year’s competition sought an environmental zoo that expanded or rather broke down the boundaries between humanity and nature. The entries this year were very environmentally and socially oriented and tried to connect the human world to the wild.
The clarity of ideas in the top entries is very easily understood and it is through the use of graphics that we can understand the range of ideas that the designers are trying to communicate. The winning entry’s presentation is very minimal yet it still explains the ideas of boundaries, co-existence, human construction and nature.
The entries in this year’s competition are very imaginative and very conceptual. Some of the entries are so focussed on breaking down the barriers between environment and human society that they simply aren’t viable in practice. However, the judges praise the over-the-top conceptualisation of spaces where animals and humans live in harmony without having artificial habitats.
The presentation of the winning entry stands out due to its simplicity and its soft colours, the subtleness of the scheme ties in with the idea of humans being unobtrusive and breaking down the barriers between nature and people.
The structural and construction side of the designs are nearly non-existent as the designers are mainly concerned with spatiality and breaking away from the traditions of the typical “zoo”.
