Why do people go to zoos? Is the role of zoos to entertain or to educate? In this provocative book, the authors demonstrate that zoos tell us as much about humans as they do about animals and suggest that while animals may not need zoos, urban societies seem to. A new introduction takes note of dramatic changes in the perceived role of zoos that have occurred since the book's original publication. "Bob Mullan and Garry Marvin delve into the assumptions about animals that are embedded in our culture. . . . A thought-provoking glimpse of our own ideas about the exotic, the foreign." -- Tess Lemmon, BBC Wildlife Magazine "A thoughtful and entertaining guided tour." -- David White, New Society "[An] unusual and intriguing combination of historical survey, psychological enquiry, and compendium of fascinating facts." -- Evening Standard

Wild animals have been housed in zoos and aquariums for 5,000 years, fascinating people living in virtually every society. Today, these institutions are at a new milestone in their history. This second edition of Zoo and Aquarium History takes the reader on a journey through the transition of private collections to menageries, to zoos, then zoological gardens, and more recently conservation centers and sanctuaries.

Concevoir l'architecture d'un zoo n'est pas simple. Si l'habitat des hommes est fait d'histoire, de traditions et de styles, celui des animaux doit-il imiter leur milieu d'origine ? Peut-on rassembler sous une enveloppe commune les promeneurs, les bâtiments techniques et les pensionnaires du zoo ? Ces réflexions, l'agence Bernard Tschumi urbanistes Architectes avec Véronique Descharrières les a menées pour faire renaître, dix ans après sa fermeture au public, le parc zoologique de Paris. Images 3D, maquettes, plans et dessins permettent de comprendre comment a été conçu le projet architectural où l'habitat des animaux devient, l'espace d'un parcours, celui des hommes. Pour capturer cette nouvelle scénographie du vivant, les photographies d'Iwan Baan présentent, sous son plus beau jour, cette architecture double où culture et nature se confrontent et se confondent dans un paysage conçu par L'Atelier Jacqueline Osty et Associés.

Book Synopsis Gathering of Animals by : William Bridges
Download or read book Gathering of Animals written by William Bridges and published by HarperCollins Publishers. This book was released on 1974 with total page 536 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt:
The Culture of Building describes how the built world, including the vast number of buildings that are the settings for peoples everyday lives, is the product of building cultures--complex systems of people, relationships, building types, techniques, and habits in which design and building are anchored. These cultures include builders, bankers, architects, developers, clients, contractors, craftspeople, building inspectors, planners, and many others. The product of these cultures, which operate building after building, is the built world of cities and settlements. In this book, Howard Davis uses historical, contemporary, and cross-cultural examples to describe the nature and influence of these cultures. He shows how building cultures reflect the general cultures in which they exist, how they have changed over history, how they affect the form of buildings and cities, and how present building cultures, which are responsible for the contemporary everyday environments, may be improved. Following the development of the idea of building cultures using several historical examples, the book lays out a framework that puts such topics as craft and professionalism, the vernacular and nonvernacular, and design and construction in common frameworks. Although the book ranges widely over different cultures and historical periods, it emphasizes the transformations that took place in architecture and building practice from the late eighteenth century to the present. Finally, the book uses a series of contemporary examples that demonstrate the building culture as a living concept. These examples, which include built work as well as innovative processes that go beyond the work of architects alone, are described as the seeds that can help the emergence of a better build world. This beautiful book features over 260 color and black-and-white illustrations, most from the authors extensive collection of slides, and includes photographs, prints, and drawings from historical archives and contemporary architectural offices.
