foster + partners计划改造ZSL伦敦动物园的雪橇鸟舍，该项目已获得地方当局的批准。由于当年的保护鸟类飞行运动，鸟舍交由建筑师Cedric Price和结构工程师Frank Newby共同设计，并于1965年向公众开放。该建筑是英国第一个可步行参观的鸟舍，建筑让游客更加贴近鸟类自然栖息地。

foster解释说：“雪域鸟类的重生让我们对这个具有历史意义的建筑进行改造。这是一次关于新旧的融合，而且是对这个杰出建筑作品的重新设计。全新的步行式走道将成为这个项目的标志性形体，并且也是对以往建筑师的尊重，同时也保留了Cedric Price的项目特点。

plans by foster + partners to transform the snowdon aviary at ZSL london zoo have received approval from local authorities. informed by the movement of birds in flight, the aviary was realized by architect cedric price and structural engineer frank newby, and opened to the public in 1965. the listed structure was britain’s first walk-through aviary, providing an experience that brings visitors closer to the birds in their natural habitat.
‘the rebirth of the snowdon aviary continues our work with historical structures,’ explains norman foster. ‘it is about the fusion of the old and new, but also about re-purposing this extraordinary structure. the brand-new walk-though home will allow it to extend its role for decades to come. it will ensure the preservation of an iconic structure and honor its distinguished authors from the past, while preserving a unique built example of cedric price’s work.’

来自 Cedric Price的鸟舍是伦敦动物园最著名的建筑物，从附近的Regent 运河和Primrose就可以看到它独特的身影，而到2015年，该建筑已经建成50年。由于这里增添了许多新动物，例如疣猴和鹦鹉，因此，foster + partners的设计在原有的结构上增加了部分构件，建筑师还设计了一些列垂直围栏，供灵长类动物攀爬。

该建筑还为动物园里的游客提供了教育和社交场所，其中共能容纳30人，室内空间可以让学校团队更多地了解到猴子、栖息地和保护区、ZSL的历史以及动物园的建筑遗产。该项目的费用约为230万英镑，社会各界人士都为该项目提供了许多赞助。

as one of ZSL london zoo’s most famous structures, the aviary celebrated its 50th anniversary in 2015 and remains visible from the nearby regent’s canal and primrose hill. foster + partners’ design adapts the structure to suit its new inhabitants — a troop of colobus monkeys and parrots. once complete, the primate enclosure will replicate the animals’ natural habitat with a series of vertical elements at different heights that the monkeys can climb onto.
the proposal also features an education and community space for zoo visitors. hosting up to 30 people, the indoor space will allow school groups to learn more about the monkeys, their habitat and conservation, ZSL’s history and about the architectural legacy of the zoo. with ￡2.3 million left to raise for the project, ZSL is currently offering a range of sponsorship opportunities for those who would like to support the build and running costs of all associated activities for five years.
