Urban Initiatives : led the design team on the recently completed $4.2M Rainforest Entry Experience Precinct at Melbourne Zoo. Working collaboratively with Snowdon Architects and Arterial Design among others, UI have created an engaging ‘walk through’ experience where lemurs and visitors share the same space. The Rainforest Entry allows a direct encounter with the lemurs and their environment, an experience usually impossible in more traditional enclosures.The visitor is immersed in a landscape where planting and materials reference the unusual spiny forests and lush rainforests of Madagascar, the lemur’s natural habitat. Expressive architectural and interpretive objects draw on natural forms of the Madagascan landscape. These forms are designed to provide a stimulating environment for the lemurs and an aesthetically rich one for the visitor.
钢结构，7个荚，全部略有不同，在厂外的藤田制造和编织，然后在非常规钢平台基地上起立。树屋是通过木板路和桥梁进行的，树屋是高处的有利位置，游客可以从中观赏周围栖息地的狐猴。
Steel structures, seven pods, all slightly different, are made and woven in the off-site rattan field and then stand up on the base of an unconventional steel platform. The treehouse is made of boardwalk and Bridges, and the treehouse is a vantage point for visitors to see lemurs in their surrounding habitat.
