foster + partners計(jì)劃改造ZSL倫敦動物園的雪橇鳥舍，該項(xiàng)目已獲得地方當(dāng)局的批準(zhǔn)。由于當(dāng)年的保護(hù)鳥類飛行運(yùn)動，鳥舍交由建筑師Cedric Price和結(jié)構(gòu)工程師Frank Newby共同設(shè)計(jì)，并于1965年向公眾開放。該建筑是英國第一個可步行參觀的鳥舍，建筑讓游客更加貼近鳥類自然棲息地。

foster解釋說：“雪域鳥類的重生讓我們對這個具有歷史意義的建筑進(jìn)行改造。這是一次關(guān)于新舊的融合，而且是對這個杰出建筑作品的重新設(shè)計(jì)。全新的步行式走道將成為這個項(xiàng)目的標(biāo)志性形體，并且也是對以往建筑師的尊重，同時(shí)也保留了Cedric Price的項(xiàng)目特點(diǎn)。

plans by foster + partners to transform the snowdon aviary at ZSL london zoo have received approval from local authorities. informed by the movement of birds in flight, the aviary was realized by architect cedric price and structural engineer frank newby, and opened to the public in 1965. the listed structure was britain’s first walk-through aviary, providing an experience that brings visitors closer to the birds in their natural habitat.
‘the rebirth of the snowdon aviary continues our work with historical structures,’ explains norman foster. ‘it is about the fusion of the old and new, but also about re-purposing this extraordinary structure. the brand-new walk-though home will allow it to extend its role for decades to come. it will ensure the preservation of an iconic structure and honor its distinguished authors from the past, while preserving a unique built example of cedric price’s work.’

來自 Cedric Price的鳥舍是倫敦動物園最著名的建筑物，從附近的Regent 運(yùn)河和Primrose就可以看到它獨(dú)特的身影，而到2015年，該建筑已經(jīng)建成50年。由于這里增添了許多新動物，例如疣猴和鸚鵡，因此，foster + partners的設(shè)計(jì)在原有的結(jié)構(gòu)上增加了部分構(gòu)件，建筑師還設(shè)計(jì)了一些列垂直圍欄，供靈長類動物攀爬。

該建筑還為動物園里的游客提供了教育和社交場所，其中共能容納30人，室內(nèi)空間可以讓學(xué)校團(tuán)隊(duì)更多地了解到猴子、棲息地和保護(hù)區(qū)、ZSL的歷史以及動物園的建筑遺產(chǎn)。該項(xiàng)目的費(fèi)用約為230萬英鎊，社會各界人士都為該項(xiàng)目提供了許多贊助。

as one of ZSL london zoo’s most famous structures, the aviary celebrated its 50th anniversary in 2015 and remains visible from the nearby regent’s canal and primrose hill. foster + partners’ design adapts the structure to suit its new inhabitants — a troop of colobus monkeys and parrots. once complete, the primate enclosure will replicate the animals’ natural habitat with a series of vertical elements at different heights that the monkeys can climb onto.
the proposal also features an education and community space for zoo visitors. hosting up to 30 people, the indoor space will allow school groups to learn more about the monkeys, their habitat and conservation, ZSL’s history and about the architectural legacy of the zoo. with ￡2.3 million left to raise for the project, ZSL is currently offering a range of sponsorship opportunities for those who would like to support the build and running costs of all associated activities for five years.
