But, Columbus Zoo’s Heart of Africa is different. Because of this, I often am not involved as projects develop past initial or conceptual planning. These people pick up where I drop off, and they continue to see the project through to construction.
COLUMBUS ZOO HEART OF AFRICA HOW TO
For example, although I understand how to put together a swing gate in a wood fence, there are highly talented architects in our office who more thoroughly understand the exact finish, gauge, hardware, species of wood, width of gaps, and hinge detailing, and draw them quicker and more efficiently than I. What’s perhaps more interesting than that is that my role specifically at PGAV is generally focused on the largest scale planning-master plans for zoos and aquariums, conceptual storylines and site planning, exhibit programming and initial layout-which means my involvement in projects quickly tapers as more and more detail develops. Even with a high industry success rate, like what PGAV has, many projects disintegrate and disappear entirely. That’s something you may not know about being a designer (it’s kind of the industry dirty little secret) many projects that you dedicate years of work to, get shelved. It might surprise you to hear that I’ve been working at PGAV for 11 years now, and I’ve only seen a few projects that I worked on open. Absolutely one of the great moments of my life so far. I'm overjoyed to announce our project has received Top Honors in Exhibit Design from the AZA! I was lucky enough to watch CZA President and CEO accept the award at the annual awards luncheon at the National AZA Conference 2015 in Salt Lake City.
