Re-thinking the Zoological Park: The 21st Century Zoo as a sustainable fixture.

My Thesis for completion of my M.Arch study focused on the zoological park as a tool for the preservation of the natural environment through the use of sister cities, sustainability and architectural narratives.  These tools are used as an educational method in conjunction with architectural forms and perspectives that immerse the viewer in all the layers and ecosystems found in the rain-forest of South-East Asia.   This project was awarded the 2008 USGBC Savannah Chapter Thesis award.
