巴塞尔拥有瑞士最古老、物种最丰富的动物园。由于处在中心位置,它或许是这座城市中最重要的内城公园设施之一。为了尽可能保留这种印象,这座动物园一直为各种动物馆及其周边的围栏选址犯愁。这座建筑背后还有一个开创性的概念——它不仅展示了单个动物种类,还有植物群和动物群在非洲埃托沙热带草原上捕食关系的完整循环。周边围墙其内外均为夯土,形成了完整的有机自然场景,而无需昂贵且人工痕迹明显的墙壁。 Basel has the oldest and most abundant zoo in Switzerland. Due to its central location, it may be one of the most important inner city park facilities in the city. In order to retain this impression as much as possible, the zoo has been guilty of the site selection of various animal halls and their surrounding fences. There is also a groundbreaking concept behind this building – it not only shows a single animal species, but also the complete cycle of predation between flora and fauna on the African savannah of the Atocha. The surrounding wall is made of alumina inside and outside, forming a complete organic natural scene without the need for expensive and artificial walls.
