[소식] International Symposium on Construction and Maintenance in Zoos

International Symposium on Construction and Maintenance in Zoos

Sunday, November 21st to Wednesday, November 24th, 2004

held at Zoo Zürich, Zürichbergstrasse 221, 8044 Zürich, Switzerland

Exhibits in zoos: Experiences from planning to facility management

The symposium is intended as a platform for people responsible for construction and maintenance in zoos and to help facilitating the discussions of related questions. A large amount of money has been invested in the construction of new attractive and animal-related enclosures which subsequently have to be maintained. One of them is for example the Masoala Rainforest at Zoo Zürich, opened in 2003. More exhibits are being planned all over the world.

The symposium is intended to discuss topics of the specific zoo environment and to exchange related experiences:

What is the procedure of masterplanning, exhibit planning and construction?

How can we maintain the value of an enclosure over the years?

Faulty experiences.

Ecological 'green' constructions and facility management.

How can we deal with the consistent request to cut costs?

Construction/technical highlights/recommendations.

Standards and guidelines.

Existing and new ideas for future knowledge exchange between zoo staff, concearned with construction and facility management.

The symposium is intended to focus on very practical experiences. We will use the facilities at Zoo Zürich, especially the Masoala Rainforest as demonstrating exhibit, with breakout sessions on technical details.

Each of the 12 topics will be started by three short 10 minutes introduction presentations by the participants. These talks should focus on: 'That is how we do it…' to introduce the topic and start the discussion. We would like to invite you to share your experiences with us. Please register your presentation on the registration form.

We cordially invite you to participate, and kindly ask you to send your reply at your earliest convenience. We hope we will meet you in Zurich.
