The Troja Zoo called upon designers to create a 'Human Pavilion' that could serve as a [new entrance](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bahrain-pavilion), 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](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tess-pavilion) 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. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.7/10 - Popularity: 67% | Activity: 37% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### 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. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Botanical Visitor Pavilions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/green-ark-pavilion.md) - [Serene Wooden Garden Pavilions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/garden-pavilion-1.md) - [Animal-Shaped Luxury Beanbags](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ark-collection.md) - [Sleek Spiralling Ramp Pavilions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/czech-pavilion.md) - [Biblical Tale-Inspired Home Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/paire-house.md) - [Eucalyptus Wood Curved Pavilions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/armadillo-pavilion.md) - [Artful Wooden Pavilions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/orchid-pavilion.md) - [Puzzle-Inspired Italian Nurseries](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/noahs-ark-nursery.md) - [Roman Architecture-Themed Pavilions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/forum-des-vestiges.md)
