September 2004
The competition, called the Concours des Ecoles d'Architecture de Paris Palais de la Porte Dorée, included designs for the renovation of the historic Paris Zoo, portions of a neighboring forested park (Bois de Vincennes) and the Musée de Porte Dorée, according to Gonzalez. It also called for designs for new underground infrastructure connecting the zoo to the museum and above-ground buildings to house aquariums and other facilities. And the students were asked to solve noise- and light-pollution problems that would accompany a large entertainment area set in a forest.
