Zoologic enclosures nowadays are not very inspiring. Nice that one can see the elephants from the roof too, a fun and different way to approach the animals. >Lucas, the elephant is probably returning to her winter palace. :)

I like this project, free thinking and concepts like this is more interesting to read about than yet another stiff-already-done-and-outdated project with some glass system from Germany. But I agree that there could be some more images and drawings of the actual building, maybe the competition was just conceptual. thanks >Lucas, probably the elephant are returning to her winter shelter after some roaming on the island.

That first rendering has nothing to do with the King's palace island - and there is an elephant walking through the snow on the left side of the image, I'm not sure Thai elephants are really adapted to the harsh Swedish winters.
