The Jurong Bird Park new entrance built in 2007 explores biomorphic forms. Originally intended to be of bent bundled pole structures it suffered the fate of innovation within the constraints of the industrial mechanical order embedded in the building code. It was rendered in steel instead but the ambition is still there. One day we will build the real biomorphic structures. This awaits the greening of the rules.

The new bus bays that ease the congestion at the old entrance. It is an obvious piece of planning innovation that escaped attention of previous designers. It works well to the joy of the tour operators. To visitors it offers totally sheltered access.

View of the main entrance, a gigantic soaring roof with echo effects that surprise the visitor. Pools of cascading water animate the space.

Green roofs that allow nature to re-establish itself needs to be understood as man made wilderness. This eludes the maintenance attitude for clean and green tidiness, an off shoot from industrial and bureaurocratic order.
