Zoological Garden
Wuppertal
The site at the "Wupperbogen" (Wupper-meander) is designed as a coherently developed central recreation area. The area's special characteristics are being emphasized and developed into prominent features. The zoo's link to the open space system of the river Wupper is improved through a better integration of the stadium's surroundings. The redesign of "Hubertusallee" (Hubertus Avenue) is strengthening the visual communication of the zoo's main entrance and the river Wupper. The zoo's extension is making it possible to re-establish former scenic correlations. In this regard the element water is playing a prominent role. According to the topography a continuous watercourse is being established leading from the source at "Tigerland" (tiger's country) across the "Pfauenwiese" (peacock meadow) towards the lake. |
