DHRotterdam Zoo--New Giraffe House

LAM Architects Roland Butler speak: Many materials within “licking-range” of the giraffes are applied untreated. This is to prevent them from toxic substances, witch could get in through this licking. Where it is not possible to have an untreated solution a very durable non toxic application is used. "For any animal people who do not know the difference between materials within "licking-range" that are toxic or non toxic, above is toxic, and below is non toxic, or so an Architect degree would have us believe.
