Wildlife shelter and evacuation system

Site Analysis

Wildlife Distribution In this map, we can see that native vegetation area and reservations shares an overlapping area in Flinders Chase National Park. Due to growth of eucalyptus trees, bush fire will be out of control easily in some circumstance.Also, this area are wildlife habitats .It detected that kangaroos, koalas and dunnarts active in this area.So, I choose this place as my site.

Devastating wildfires in Australia have caused the deaths of more than 40,000 animals on Kangaroo Island, where animal groups are trying to save as many as they can. The government's Primary Industries and Regions agency said nearly 44,000 sheep, cattle, horses, and other domesticated animals died in the fires or were euthanized. About 30 wild animals -- including koalas, wallabies, opossums, monitor lizards, and birds -- arrive daily at the island's wildlife park for treatment, where veterinarians have established an emergency medical center. Unfortunately, SA and WA do not allow pets in evacuation centers (with the exception of assistance animals), meaning they must be housed outside or at a different location. Animal management plans in these states cite fairly vague "health and safety" reasons for the exclusion.

So, I would like to design a project to help wildlife survive in the bushfires. I will design a network to evacuate wildlife from bushfires and build a shelter in the center of the network.

According to those three maps, we can see the movements of bushfires. And the movements of bushfires were affected by the vegetation distribution and the wind direction.

extracting the most important section of road form the overlap map,and then use this section of road to build evacuation network.

The site is located in the wildlife reserve. And I will use the selected road to connect this district. Also, some underground shelters will be built along this lifesaving road


Design Concept

Network system

My design concept is to generate a wildlife center from the organic shapes.Also, the whole construction need to correspond to the site.I want my structure has a feeling of forrest.Also, koalas can attach to these structures.

The first diagram shows the program of the wildlife center. When the bushfire happened, many wildlife will be burnt. So, they come to the center and find a shelter. Also, some plants such as aloe planted in the center will save their lives. The second diagram shows that the different sizes of wildlifes.Therefore,it necessary to build two types of shelters in wildlife center.

Master Plan

command room

Temporary shelters will be distributed along the evacuation route. When a bushfire spread out, small animals can quickly find the nearest shelter. Rescuers use a signal from the camera to find them and bring them back to the wildlife center. send wildlife to center

It shows that the roof will gather the rainwater and irrigate aloe. Then, doctors will use aloe to treat burnt animals.

Digging trenches produces a lot of abandoned soil. Then we will pile the soil into earthworks and place them next to the shelter.

In this wildlife center,wildlife will attract tourists during the normal time. The tourist will produce many plaster garbage.Therefore,I can reuse these waste and garbage to 3D-print the structure of wildlife center.

The shelter is a bionic design. The design of the big roof follows the jump of kangaroos and creates exciting places for them. They can jump and climb on the roofs. The structure of the column is generated by quelea and using Millipede to refine the structure. Koala can attach to those columns. The underground shelter were inspired by wombats' holes, which save small animals during the last bushfires. Finally, the mesh structure of the roof is built for birds. They can nest their homes.
