natasha moise a about architecture and what it actually says about our relationship to animals. on the outside it looks a bit like a five star spa the new panda garden was specifically built for berlin's new panda couple only glass panes separate them from visitors pandas may. even have chinese style lanterns architects architect natasha is smith. they're so cute. their new accommodation isn't just an enclosure it's a veritable apartment complex. we designed this building in three sections it has a bedroom a living room and spacious garden their real comfort zone. but the space has also been designed with the visitor in mind the aim is to create an exciting experience . and yet so i think. do architecture today the indoor and
11:53 am
outdoor enclosures are conceived as a single carefully orchestrated space. nothing is left to chance you get every bush every surface every fence is planned on the plan natasha says the architecture directs the visitors gaze like in a theatre so enclosures are like stage sets. this is merely offer an illusion of the natural world natasha spent a decade researching zoo architecture and has published a book on the subject. based practice mainly designs diplomatic missions in high threat regions like afghanistan mali and yemen. they actually share similar security requirements with zoos. but visitors don't want to experience a zoo as a prison for animals architecture can help. with

why didn't. we just guys enclosures boundaries you no longer see a cage or offense. instead we have a moat. and. the boundaries become invisible they look attractive nevertheless i feel there's no such thing as an ethical enclosure we're dealing with a captive animal that we're putting on display in a stage setting. the touches research included the history of zoo architecture the giraffe house in berlin is typical of the style popular when the zoo opened and eight hundred forty four animals were displayed like exotic museum exhibits and pagoda style buildings reminiscent of the thousand and one nights. around one thousand nine hundred call haagen back revolutionised to design scrapping bars in favor of open enclosures at his hamburg zoo flamingos prancing next to predators and peaceful coexistence on the two humanist of course we have this ideal of
11:55 am
a natural paradise and if i look around here i see nature not architecture have that gives me the sense that the animal is happy the school. visitors no longer go to zoos to watch animals they can do that on t.v. they come to experience the wilderness some animals capture the hearts of the public like the baby polar bear rejected at birth in two thousand and six such media darlings deserve an expansive enclosure not a cage. plans for singapore and st petersburg are a sign of things to come this issue of the future offers visitors an attractive immersive experience in berlin the hippo house is right on trend for the animals at least it's nothing if not immersive. and that's all for this edition of your lacks i hope to see you next time and until then.
