conflicting views on the subject of zoos so we spoke to the author of this book the berlin architect 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 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.
