Any updates to this master plan? I’ve seen some changes to the park, not quite what they have here.

I really LOVED this inspiring talk by John Racanelli of the National Aquarium. It was a terrific challenge to zoos and aquariums to embrace opportunities to better engage our audiences. We all have a lot to learn about emerging generations and what our audiences are telling us. This was a great talk!

Hi! Your website and experiences are very inspiring. I’m in my final yr of my B.S Architecture course and currently doing my thesis proposal on Avicultural discovery complex. Basically, it’s a bird park, learning hub, and recreational spaces combined into one project. I’m having a hard time formulating on what particular facilities I should provide in such project. If I’m not mistaken, my project is somehow similar to a zoo? I hope you could give me some advice on how I should design my complex and what effective research methods I can do? Thank you!

What I found most interesting is the inclusion of a non-accredited facility, Space Farms Zoo, using roadkill to feed animals. I’m pretty sure that doesn’t happen in AZA zoos. Also it is interesting that they asked the director of the Red River Zoo about renting pandas. I guess Douglas Myers in San Diego wouldn’t return their call?

Comment on Conveying Field Research and Conservation Efforts to Zoo Visitors by Rob Halpern

Hi Christina,

Are you aware of any evaluative studies of such exhibits, looking at whether visitors actually do notice these in situ connections or, more importantly, are affected (inspired? curious to know more? supportive?)by them?

I share your concerns. Yet often designers decide that some new trick will speak to visitors without any evidence that it will accomplish the goal. I’d love to learn more.

Thanks
