6. DESIGN APPROACH AND DETAILS
6.1 Aviary 1 - Sky Sanctuary
6.1.1 Conceptual Framework
Drawing inspiration from the Antwerp Aviary, the Sky Sanctuary is segmented into

distinct environments tailored to the specific species they house, providing optimal
conditions for each bird group from raptors to tropical species.
6.1.2 Specific Habitat Designs
● Segment 1: Designed for raptors and owls with controlled lighting and higher
perch points.
● Segment 2: Features walk-in access for visitors with embedded pathways
slightly below ground level to reduce the barrier between humans and birds.
● Segments 3: Open-air concept for flightless birds, providing a ground-level
experience that mimics their natural habitats
● Segments 4 and 5: Covered with tensile structures and subdivided to cater to
different species, including tropical birds and macaws, with vegetation and
elements specific to each bird’s natural environment.
6.2 Aviary 2 - Feathered Oasis
6.2.1 Conceptual Framework
Designed for water birds, this aviary integrates water features seamlessly with the
tensile structure to create a naturalistic setting that supports a diverse range of
aquatic avian species.
