Project Description

  

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
On the First Island of Zagreb Zoo, besides the main entrance building, another new building – a Dalmatian pelican house (the largest spicies of pelican in the world) is located.
Unlike the main entrance, this house is trying to hide. Partially sunken with its green roof and its soft shape in the coating of woodlogs, it wants to be drowned in the landscape to give way to the importance of seeing and presenting the real stars – pelicans. Technically, most of the things in this project is subordinated to the living and motion of pelican, and the form of the house is a try to escape from imposing its appearance to the visitors of the Zoo Garden.

Na Prvom Otoku Zoo vrta, osim zgrade glavnog ulaza, smjestila se još jedna nova građevina – nastamba dalmatinskih pelikana (najvećih na svijetu).
Za razliku od glavnog ulaza, ova kuća se pokušava sakriti. Djelomično ukopana, sa zelenim krovom i mekanom formom u oblozi od oblica želi biti utopljena u krajolik da prepusti važnost pogleda i prezentacije pravim zvijezdama – pelikanima. Tehnički je većina toga u ovom projektu predodređena življenju i kretanju pelikana, a forma je bijeg od nametanja svoje pojave posjetiteljima Zoo vrta.
