I would like to see the Zoo entrance re-incorporate the structures in a meaningful way. What's dated-looking around the entrance is the quasi-safari stuff. Hyperbolic paraboloids are still being built all the time - using both tensile structures and concrete.Gretchenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03578305062582311122noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8062280913017493322.post-36898249533670271532010-02-27T08:59:20.845-08:002010-02-27T08:59:20.845-08:00It kind reminds me of a mother hippo with two babi...It kind reminds me of a mother hippo with two babies--very appropriate for a zoo entrance. I really hope they come to their senses. The drawings I've seen of the proposed entrance, which would require destroying the "hypars", are very dated already and look like every other big city zoo. Architects and planners are so predictable at times... They should restore the structures and even play up the MCM aspect to tie into Fairy Tale Town across the street. The style is actually proving to be pretty timeless.Dane Henashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16062540802235909403noreply@blogger.com
