Hello zoo keepers,
I would like to introduce you to my new project.
It's a mind game: in my hometown Ilmenau there is a larger factory where porcelain goods were produced until 2002. Since then, the area has been largely unused and some of the buildings are collapsing. The city government is debating whether to demolish the site and rededicate it.
I have taken up this idea. What could a zoo look like on the factory grounds and the surrounding woodland?
I would like to integrate individual buildings of the factory - especially the gatehouse and the factory shop - into the zoo.
I will use the original topography of the area.
I have recreated the adjacent residential buildings, and the forecourt has been redesigned.
About the zoo:
The zoo should have a modern look, besides the animals I also want to bring out landscape elements in the zoo. I plan to have 20-25 animal species, tendecally, but not exclusively smaller species. I would like to make the zoo as realistic as possible.
