Jan Vranovsky channeled his inner Noah when he designed the Ark Pavilion for the Troja Zoo in Prague. The Troja Zoo called upon designers to create a 'Human Pavilion' that could serve as a new entrance, fit 40 people, have room for bike storage, and presumably survive 40 days and nights of rain.
Jan Vranovsky's Ark Pavilion is a multi-level structure with animals on each tier and a huge window on the roof that opens when weather permits. Check out this modern day Noah's Ark from Jan Vranovsky in the gallery above.
What Makes This Trend Stand Out
- Multi-level Structures
- Designing multi-level structures that serve multiple purposes, like housing animals and accommodating visitors, presents opportunities for disruptive innovation.
- Sustainable Architecture
- Developing sustainable architecture that can withstand extreme weather conditions, such as rain, while providing a unique and functional experience for users, offers disruptive innovation possibilities.
- Innovative Entrances
- Creating innovative entrance designs that not only serve as welcoming points but also incorporate unique features, such as bike storage, showcases disruptive innovation potential.
Sectors Adopting This
- Zoos
- Zoos can explore disruptive innovation opportunities by incorporating multi-level structures that enhance visitor experiences while providing suitable living conditions for animals.
- Architecture
- The architecture industry can leverage the concept of sustainable and functional multi-level structures to create innovative designs for various purposes including entrance buildings.
- Tourism
- The tourism industry can benefit from implementing innovative entrance designs that offer unique experiences, such as incorporating bike storage, to attract and accommodate visitors in a memorable way.
