gorgeous in appearances. i cannot judge its success or failure from blog photos, but i would hope that with the consult of zookeepers it is an effective blend of an enriching bird habitat, beautiful architecture and an educational, visual experience.

The place gives me a sense of a maze. I agree with the fact that the designer wanted to create a sense of randomness but still not to that extend!
Architecture is all about freeing yourself but that can’t but done like this!

Has anybody thought about the possibility WHY they made it all about the arrangement of the cages? because the birds might want to have some sheltered place of course! And in my opinion, they managed nicely to create a nice arrangement of shelters for both the birds and people walking inbetween them. So the comments about too much architecture are a bit simplistic.. they even say that it was all designed according to zookeepers rules and regulations.. don’t judge projects so fast people!

the problem with this is that they made it about the cages and their arrangement and not about the event of looking at the birds.

surely the best way to show these birds is with the lightest structure possible – not behind a forest of metal poles.

Yeah maybe so on the “too much architecture” comment.

While we should appreciate and thank the city of Barcelona’s commitment to design, I think the project itself was slightly off-target as a means to display animals. Rather than worrying about creating a “picturesque system lacking of any rule”, the architecture should seek to expose the beauties inherent of the garden itself. Too much architecture in this one, folks.
