ICE SEA ENCLOSURE ZOO HAGENBECK

Hamburg

OBJECT DESCRIPTION

Tradition and innovation were the two cornerstones for the reconstruction concept of the famous Ice Sea Panorama at Hamburg's Hagenbeck Zoo. The listed but dilapidated facility was replaced by a new building on the same site. The main focus was to bring the beauty and fascination of the habitats at the North and South Poles to the visitor in an impressive way and at the same time to optimize the functional processes behind the scenes.
