Activity-based approach to zoo designs: Through the eyes of the polar bears.
McCray, Adrienne.

Activity-based approach to zoo designs: Through the eyes of the polar bears. - 120 p.

Adviser: Paul Kelsch.

Thesis (M.L.A.)--Morgan State University, 2002.

This thesis is a comparison of two approaches to zoo exhibit design: immersion style exhibits and activity based exhibits. Immersion exhibits are the top design style for zoo habitats today; they create the illusion for the visitor of being in the animal's habitat. Activity based design focuses on the well-being of the captive animal. Though many immersion exhibits are better for the animal than earlier styles of exhibit, the emphasis is really placed on the visitor's experience more than the animal's well-being.

520 $a This thesis is a comparison of two approaches to zoo exhibit design: immersion style exhibits and activity based exhibits. Immersion exhibits are the top design style for zoo habitats today; they create the illusion for the visitor of being in the animal's habitat. Activity based design focuses on the well-being of the captive animal. Though many immersion exhibits are better for the animal than earlier styles of exhibit, the emphasis is really placed on the visitor's experience more than the animal's well-being.
520 $a The two types of exhibits are studied in relationship to designing polar bear exhibits. Polar bear exhibits are one of the most difficult to design, because the bears have large ranges in the wild, are very intelligent, and are carnivores. The Baltimore Zoo is currently redesigning its polar bear exhibit, and this thesis studies the two approaches to zoo exhibit design to better understand the problems the zoo faces.
520 $a Immersion exhibits and activity-based approaches are both examined through literature review. Three recent polar bear exhibits were visited and are compared for the different approaches toward immersion and animal activities. Finally the site for the Baltimore Zoo's exhibit is critiqued in light of the difficulties of immersion and creating good activities for the bears.
