The design I made was an enclosure for a flying fox. This animal doesn’t use echolocation like bats, but it uses eye sight. The animals are mainly active at dusk. This is why I chose to make an enclosure that is limitedly lighted.

To make the enclosure more magical and interesting I chose to add two other animals, those are the fireflies and the red eyed tree frog. Because they are also active at low light and both need water. Because the space is very limited on the location I got rid of the island and used a circle for the outlines of the enclosure. The references that I used the most were from Peter Zumthor “Kolumba Museum” and “Thermen Vals”. Also I used OFFICE Kersten Geers David Van Severen as a reference to create a simplistic but effective drawing style. Those references helped me for designing the low light enclosure and the columns. After the main architectural elements I started working on the landscape, which is a combination of the natural landscape with a more abstract architectural underlay. The floor had multiple steps down until it reaches the water, this causes the eyes to adjust at different levels. Because this rough underground and dark environment I chose to lift up the walkway that is going around in a circle in the enclosure.
