COSTANERA SUR ZOO – FRAMING THE ARTIFICIAL
The Costanera Sur Zoo proposal is for an elevated, continuously
sloping pathway that gently spirals around an open air atrium. The public pathway alternately engages,
on the north side, the animal environments and, on the south side, expansive
views of the ecological reserve.
The spiraling pathway around the central open atrium affords dynamic
views and multiple perspectives of the animals and the reserve as the visitor
moves through project.
Site: The
Constanera Sur Zoo is located at the northern most point of the ecological reserve,
allowing for expansive views of the city, river and reserve while taking advantage
of, and linking to, the existing vehicular
and pedestrian, and bicyclist pathways. The ground level program is minimized
to reduce the project’s impact on the reserve, while becoming a part of the
network of various circulation modes.
Building / Program:
The body of the Zoo (the horizontal “bar” component) spans between two vertical
circulation elements. The bar
component houses the zoo and is enveloped with a visual and environmentally
diaphanous skin. The vertical
elements, visually and structurally supporting the zoo bar component also serve
to re-orient the visitor as they circulation throughout the zoo while the
larger of the two vertical elements organize and house various program support
areas (entry lobby, ticket sales, restrooms, administrative areas,
cultural/education components).
The smaller of the vertical elements rises above the zoo “bar”, above
the 100 m mark and culminates in an observatory platform.
The animal environments are located along the atrium, which
spans between the vertical elements and are serviced from a separate private
circulation pathway on the north side of the animal environments to separate
the staff access from the public circulation. The zoo pathway also engages the aviary at each level to
afford varying access to the bird’s environments. The public services, café and souvenir shop, are located at
the end of the zoo pathway at the base of the atrium space.
The Cultural-Education program elements housed by the larger
vertical circulation element are positioned on alternate levels from the
primary zoo circulation to provide autonomous use as needed.
Form and inspiration:
The “Mate”, Surrealists work and images of animals by Juan Miro and Salvador
Dali , organic structures, and Frank Lloyd Wright’s Guggenheim Museum.
