Exhibit Viewing Glass

Exhibit Viewing Glass

Exhibit Viewing Glass, Zoo Design & Animal Exhibit Design immersion, which is a type of design intended to “immerse” the visitor in the same natural habitat. Animal exhibit design are becoming more and more popular.  Currently, organizations spend massive amounts of resources re-creating “natural” places and cultural phenomena. Also, in an effort to connect people to the earth; to inspire respect of natural places.

One of the biggest complaints against zoo design & animal exhibit design is the difficulty. Generally, in spotting and also clearly seeing the animals.  Therefore, proximity to animals should be a chief concern in exhibit design.

Zoo consulting by JEI Structural Engineering strives to partner the beauty of architecture with the analysis of structural engineering.
