Changing public habits regarding the treatment of animals in zoos, from mere spectacle to a more respectful engagement, requires a specialized and long-term strategy. The zoo is designed to be compact and centered, with clusters that consider animal behavior and breeding patterns. Surrounding it is a playground area separate from service and research zones. General visitors access the zoo through a dedicated entrance near the main road, along with all commercial facilities and accommodations as outlined in the brief. This approach ensures controlled entry into the zoo, providing a calmer environment for the animals.
Most importantly, there is a guarantee of clean water availability for the animals. Unlike the Singapore Zoo, which is surrounded by water bodies five times larger than the zoo itself, this zoo requires a solution to continuously bring water into the area from lower sources. Using hydraulic ram pumps, water can be elevated without electricity and without noise.
