  • Nature's Wild Backyard

    Nature's Wild Backyard

    Born at a crucial time in history, This is the Generation that can Preserve our one and only Planet. HELP US INSPIRE THEM BRIDGING WORLDS Given the seemingly miraculous achievements in bringing species on the brink back to life, modern zoos are sometimes described using a biblical term, “the Ark” – ushering in exciting breakthroughs in genetics and breeding. But there is another, perhaps even more fundamental, role that accredited zoos play that is best described by a more prosaic phrase, “the Bridge.” Today accredited zoos and aquariums worldwide are living bridges between an increasingly urban society and natural habitats threatened by growing human encroachment. Zoos and aquariums teach us about nature and help us envisage a future more sustainable and harmonious than our present, and their professional organizations serve to synergize their efforts and amplify their message. It is through today’s zoos that future generations will come to a greater understanding of the human impact on the natural world and be motivated to preserve it and reverse the damage already done. We at the Edmonton Valley Zoo take that responsibility seriously. NURTURING AN ANCIENT BOND For almost 60 years the Edmonton Valley Zoo has hosted generations of guests seeking to experience the unique bond between humans and the wild animals that we, as a species, have always enjoyed. The Edmonton Valley Zoo has been a starting place on a journey of love, learning, care and respect for thousands seeking to experience the wonder of wildlife. When you visit our zoo we hope you will have an encounter with our animals and our environment that, in some way, changes you – inspires you.

  • Edmonton Valley Zoo

    Edmonton Valley Zoo

    ABOVEEdmonton Valley Zoo “When you realize the value of all life, you dwell less on what is past and concentrate on the preservation of the future.” ~ Dian Fossey Immersive landscapes are those in which animals and humans alike are enveloped by a common habitat. This approach erases the boundaries and hierarchical divisions between animals and visitors found at conventional zoos. By engaging animals on their own terms and in their own habitats, visitors are better able to understand the high degree of interconnectivity between themselves, the animals they are viewing, and the world around them. Children and adults perceive and engage the world in very different ways. At an elemental level, children operate at a very different scale than their adult counterparts. Unlike adults, children also tend to learn about the world and their place in it with a high degree of physicality: through play. Using immersive landscapes and a ‘children’s geography’ as points of departure, the master plan for the Children’s Precinct pursues four primary gestures of spatial engagement as means of defining a new conceptual framework for the Zoo: Under, Between, On, and Above. These abstract experiential types speak to a wide range of possible means of bodily relation to a given landscape and simultaneously sponsor play as a primary mechanism for engaging that landscape. Building on the master plan for the Edmonton Valley Zoo Children’s precinct, this project develops one aspect of that proposal - the ‘Above Zone’ - as a discrete immersive experience. CONCEPTUAL CHILDREN’S EXPERIENTIAL SPATIAL CORE SUPPORTING FRAMEWORK GEOGRAPHY TOUCHSTONES ARCHETYPES SPECIES SPECIES The Above Building is the first project to be delivered by the Edmonton Valley Zoo based on its 2014 master plan.
