“The design of the Panda Pavilions is a convergence of landscape, architecture, and land art. While the project provides a pedestrian friendly navigation experience for visitors – it prioritizes an animal-friendly environment to minimize the alienation of ecology” says Ping Jiang, Design Principal EID Architecture.
Inspired by the natural landscape of Chengdu’s prairies, these pavilions are intended as a fusion of architecture and landscape and are designed to create an immersive experience of exploration and discovery for the visitors. Its conceptual, minimalistic facades skillfully feature pressure-treated cedar wood panels and cast-in-place concrete walls.
Additionally – the buildings are further equipped with water nozzles around the pavilions to create a fine mist for panda friendly temperature and humidity.
