苏黎世动物园的新象舍被嵌入新设计的Kaeng Krachan大象公园的广阔景观中。
The new elephant house in Zürich Zoo is embedded in the extensive landscape of the newly designed Kaeng Krachan Elephant Park.
新大象馆的特色元素是其引人注目的木质屋顶，它作为一个浅层的自由形式的壳结构融入景观中。屋顶溶入了一个透明的迷宫式结构，与周围的森林建立了有机的联系。在室内，屋顶展开了它的大气效果：就像通过树冠一样，阳光穿过复杂的屋顶结构，产生了不断变化的光环境。
The characteristic element of the new elephant house is its striking wooden roof which blends into the landscape as a shallow free-form shell-structure. The roof dissolves into a transparent mazelike structure that establishes an organic relationship to the surrounding forest. In the interior the roof unfolds its atmospheric effect: as if through a canopy of trees the sunlight filters through the intricate roof structure generating constantly changing light atmospheres.
屋顶被设计成一个浅的、自由伸展的木壳。预制的三层板在现场被弯曲成它们的形状，然后钉起来。开口是在现场从巨大的木壳上切割出来的。不断变化的立面结构由片状物组成，这些片状物似乎长到了屋顶的边缘，成为一个有机的形状，表明了承重区域。
The roof is designed as a shallow, free-spanning wooden shell. Prefabricated triple-layer panels were bent on-site into their form and nailed up. The openings were cut out on-site from the massive wooden shell. The continuously changing façade structure consists of lamellas that seemingly grow up to the edge of the roof as an organically shaped band indicating the loadbearing areas.
屋顶的标志性外壳和动态的立面形成了一个大气的外壳和象形的 “自然-建筑”，将设计的精髓集中到建筑和景观的共生中。
The iconographic shell of the roof together with the dynamic façade form an atmospheric envelope and pictographic “Nature-Construction” concentrating the essence of the design into a symbiosis between architecture and landscape.
