City Safari

City people's thirst of furry companions are meet by new types of business like animal cafe and indoor zoos. Soon people are not satisfied by small pets so we see large animal like alpacas taking elevators and live in small cubicles like modern human. This inspired a new building type , incorporating animal research facilities, and allow animals to live a natural lifestyle in city. Meanwhile bring natural habitat to city residents as a public space.

The project begins with applying a concept of “double negative” to spatial construction by solid and void subtraction.Negative spaces are the actual habitable place where people can use and interact with outside where positive space is merely for people, but the concept of double negative is to create a special condition where a form or space does not exist physically but conceptually.

“We are in our private traps, clamped in them, and none of us can ever get over. We scratch and claw, but only at the air, on the each other. And for all of it, we never budge an inch .”——Psycho1960
