塔隆加动物园的狐猴森林探险
The Lemur Forest Adventure at Taronga Zoo

简·欧文风景园林：塔隆加动物园的狐猴森林探险是塔隆加最亲密、最难忘的游客体验之一。该项目位于动物园的中心，位于以前的海豹游泳池中，通过一次整合的体验之旅，将游戏、教育和解说融为一体。
Jane Irwin Landscape Architecture: The Lemur Forest Adventure at Taronga Zoo is one of Taronga’s most intimate and memorable visitor experiences. Located at the heart of the zoo, in the former seal pools, the project brings together play, education and interpretation through a consolidated experiential journey.

The design philosophy and brief embraces:
– Lemur welfare and conservation;
– Play, with focus on a 8-14 year age group;
– Interpretation of place and animal conservation;
– Retention and expression of the site context historically and physically.

The Lemur Forest Adventure at Taronga Zoo

观察哨是一个硬铺砌的区域，作为一个中心聚集地，允许在森林游戏后通过体验灵活地使用守门员谈话、功能小组和家庭重新连接。护城河将观察哨所与狐猴展览区分开，狐猴展览区位于从该遗址砂岩悬崖突出的瀑布下。狐猴步行穿越包括狐猴及其在马达加斯加的原生旱生栖息地。一个狐猴岛，裸露的砂岩悬崖和壁架为游客在展览中漫步的狐猴提供了休憩之所。夜总会位于展览的西侧，通过文物楼梯下一条整洁隐蔽的通道进入。
The Lemur Forest Adventure is divided into five parts, the forest play-through, observation outpost, moat, lemur exhibit, and night dens. The forest play-through incorporates a densely packed, multilayered forest with play areas interspersed at different levels. The play experiences include a forest walk structure with slide attachment and viewing terrace, climbing pod with net climbing structure, balance challenges, water play and boulder climb.
The observation outpost is a hard paved area that functions as a central gathering place, allowing flexible use for keeper talks, function groups and family reconnection after the forest play-through experience. The moat divides the observation outpost from the lemur exhibit that is accessed under a waterfall protruding from the site’s sandstone cliffs. The lemur walk-through embraces the lemur and its native xerophytic habitat in Madagascar. A lemur island, exposed sandstone cliffs and ledges provide retreat for the lemurs as visitors walk through the exhibit. Night dens are located on the western side of the exhibit, accessed through a neatly concealed passageway under the heritage stairs.

在设计展品和体验时，重要的是将狐猴的环境与动物园更大的文化景观和遗产层（包括布局、岩石架、墙壁和花园）重叠和整合。新元素尊重遗产层以及遗址和区域的自然历史。公众的需求和狐猴的需求都在这个共同的景观中得到了满足。
In designing the exhibit and experience, it was important to overlay and integrate the environment of the lemurs with the larger cultural landscape of the zoo and layers of heritage including layout, rock shelves, walls and gardens. New elements respect the heritage layer, and the natural history of the site and region. The needs of the public and the needs of the lemurs have both been accommodated in this shared landscape.
