Giraffe House--Detroit Zoo Then and Now

1949

2002

Of all of the exhibit's in a zoo, none has provided an architect with more freedom to "express" himself then the giraffe exhibit/building. You will be hard pressed to find a more diverse structure with dozens of "interpretations" then a giraffe building/exhibit. Yet no happy wagon for the giraffe, like there is world wide for the elephant. Why can't a giraffe catch a break?
