ZSL’s Tiger TerritoryZSL London Zoo’s brand new Suma-tran tiger enclosure has been given the royal seal of approval on Wednesday 20 March, when it was offi cially opened by HRH The Duke of Edinburgh. Tiger Territory, a £3.6m project, is home to Jae Jae and Melati, Europe’s most genetically important pair of Sumatran tigers who were matched by the global breeding programme for the critically endangered species.

With high hopes for breeding resting on the pair, their cubs would be the fi rst to be born at ZSL London Zoo for more than 15 years. And in what keepers are hoping is a prophetic twist of fate, tigress Melati is the granddaughter of the Zoo’s last tiger cub, Hari.The new enclosure covered by a canopy of steel cable netting stretches over 2,500sq m and features a number of tall feeding poles to encourage the animals to climb for their dinner. The Tigers are treated to a pool as well as heated rocks. It is hoped their new environment, designed to meet their needs fi rst, will encourage them to mate.

“We have tried our best to fade into the background,” says Michael Kozdon,

architect of the new £3.6m Tiger Territory at London Zoo. It’s not often you hear an architect say that, but then it’s not often you have a pair of endangered Suma-tran tigers as clients, either. Jae Jae, for example, likes to have generous amounts of Old Spice sprayed around his enclo-sure (that’s males for you). “In the past,” continues Kozdon, “animal enclosures were all about creating an iconic archi-tectural statement. Now the emphasis is on animal welfare, on bringing visitors as close to the creatures as possible. Our aim is to disappear.”

This explains why, rather than being held in by a roof, Jae Jae and his partner, Melati, have a fi ne net canopy stretching above their heads – even though its silken threads are made of 3mm steel cable (tigers are capable of jumping 5m from a standing start). Stretched into tensile peaks and troughs by four black metal poles (the tallest of which rises to 20m), the canopy soars above the treetops of Regent’s Park like a giant spider’s web.

The enclosure’s sinu-

ous silhouette echoes the pinkish peaks of its neighbour, the Mappin Terraces, a manmade range of rocky mountains that have long poked their summits above the trees, bringing a surreal air to this strange corner of the park. Built in 1914, this elevated landscape was the result of a clause governing the zoo’s expan-sion: an additional landgrab of four acres would only be allowed if the animals they housed could be visible from the rest of the park. Sadly, this sheer geologi-cal formation, erupting above the neat neoclassical terraces of NW1, has been barren since 1985, when Pipaluk (the last of the polar bears, whose name means Little One in Inuit) was fi nally moved out after 18 years.

Tiger Territory’ will be a new home for Sumatran tigers, of which it is estimated that there are now fewer than 300 left in the wild. As this number decreases, the creation of man-made habitats in which they can be protected and conserved becomes increas-ingly vital to ensure the survival of this magnifi cent creature. However, the potential danger of a Sumatran tiger should not be underestimated. Weighing up to 130kg, running at up to 30 miles per hour, jumping as high as the average house and being able to dig well below ground means that it is a diffi cult predator to contain.

This becomes even more challenging given the second fun-damental purpose of the new enclosure: to create the illusion of openness. Providing intimate spaces between human and animal will enable an insight into the tiger’s world, exciting the public’s emotions and desires to protect them.

Our response to these requirements is an elegant stainless steel cable net structure, with a surface area of 2250m2. This lightweight solution safely contains the force of the tigers with-out the appearance of a tangible barrier. Internally it is support-ed by four main masts that have been jacked into position, with fi ne sand in pots at each base. Smaller perimeter masts are tied back using Platipus ground anchors, utilising the weight of the soil to resist the cable net forces.

The new enclosure is situated between two existing buildings: a 1930s brickwork stork and ostrich house and a 1960s concrete sea lion viewing stand.

These have both been preserved and strengthened in order to minimise the impact of the development; by avoiding the disrup-tion within the zoo that demolition would cause and by reducing the quantity of material required to create the new enclosure. Sensitive refurbishment has been undertaken in order to create living quarters for the tigers and viewing platforms for the visi-tors.

Although the former sea lion stand was deemed unable to provide necessary lateral stability to the cable net structure, this was overcome through the addition of clamping reinforcing steel plates to either side of the frame, without compromising the original structure.

David Dexter Associates are extremely proud to have met the challenge of creating a structure that satisfi es the two confl icting roles of enabling tigers to live in safe captivity whilst also provid-ing the ultimate experience for the public by allowing them to experience close proximity to the animals.

Through the design of a highly effi cient structure, we have been able to minimise material usage and consequently the energy required to deliver the new enclosure. This solution meets all practical requirements whilst also minimising material use: the

total weight of the new structure is approximately 10kg/m2. This is approximately one tenth of what a traditional solu-tion might have weighed. Ad-ditionally, where possible essential additional struc-ture has been con-structed using low impact materials, such as reused timber railway sleepers.

Tigers are avid climbers,” explains Robin Fitzgerald, the zoo’s projects manager. “They like to observe their terrain from a towering vantage point, so we’ve given them a habitat that lets them do exactly that – with a view out over Regent’s Park.” Describing how the poles and canopy sup-port each other, he adds: “It’s basically circus tent technology.” Neatly complying with the brief to all but vanish into thin air, this means there is no need for the extra steel structures that are so common in the zoo’s other mesh enclosures – such as Ced-ric Price’s famous Snowdon Aviary. Built in 1964, the aviary’s dramatic steel skeleton mimics the angular geometry of a bird’s wing.

The Tiger Territory had other constraints to grapple with, most notably the fact that several existing buildings had to be incor-porated into the redevelopment. With a limited area of 36 acres in one of London’s most protected settings, the zoo is forced to modify what it has – in this case, a Victorian stork and ostrich house and a 1960s sea lion viewing platform, both of which had been off-limits to visitors for 30 years.

The ostrich house now provides a cosy den for the tigers, com-plete with heated rocks to soothe their weary muscles, while the sea lion stand has become an elevated viewing platform for visitors, with panoramic windows looking out across the Indonesian-inspired landscaping of the enclosure. From here, you can watch the tigers splashing about in their pool, or scaling the feeding poles to devour chicken wings and steak.

The new enclosure is fi ve times larger than the previous one, which dated from the 1970s, and its design demonstrates a new emphasis on animal husbandry. The pairing of Jae Jae and Melati was meticulously planned using Studbook, which charts every captive creature’s genetic provenance to facilitate perfect matches. “It’s the online dating service for animals,” says Fitzgerald. And if the hot rocks get them too frisky, the pair can be separated, along with any future cubs, into two different parts of the enclosure, connected by a glass door.

While 2013 may be the Year of the Snake on the Chinese calen-dar, at ZSL London Zoo it’s defi nitely the Year of the Tiger. ZSL London Zoo is just two weeks away from opening the doors to Tiger Territory, a brand-new £3.6m fl agship exhibit, which will be home to the Zoo’s latest arrivals, Jae Jae and Melati, a pair of Sumatran tigers.

Visitors to Tiger Territory will see Jae Jae and Melati in their stunning Indonesian-inspired habitat, which has been designed to meet every sensory need of these endangered animals. ZSL London Zoo is home to world-leading tiger experts, and has been home to tigers for more than 100 years. The new 2,500sqm (27,000sqft) Tiger Territory has been created with ZSL’s team of tiger keepers and conservationists to ensure that it perfectly suits the big cats. Tigers are excellent climbers and like to observe their terrain from a towering vantage point and Tiger Territory will allow them to do just that. The exhibit features high feeding poles to

encourage their natural predatory behaviours and tall trees for the cats to scale. Unusually for cats, tigers love water, and visitors will be able to see them hanging out in their custom-built pool. When they’re not dipping their paws in the water, the tigers will have all-day access to indoor dens where visitors will be able to see them relaxing on heated rocks. Tiger Territory will enable ZSL to breed the critically-endangered tigers at ZSL London Zoo and learn more about these elusive animals to apply to its international fi eld conservation projects to try to reverse the bleak fate of the Sumatran tiger. Both the Global Management Species Programme and the European breeding programme for Sumatran tigers are co-ordinated by tiger experts at ZSL London Zoo – where ZSL’s specialists are responsible for managing a healthy and diverse population of tigers in zoos around the world. The result of a large public fundraising campaign led by ZSL London Zoo, Tiger Territory will give millions of zoo visitors the chance to get close to these incredible animals and provide a central hub for ZSL’s tiger conservation work when it opens on March 22 2013.
