Prototyping

For over 50 years, the Hundshaupten Wildlife Park has been a popular destination for young and old in Lower Franconia. Here, visitors find the opportunity to get to know the regional flora and fauna in a relaxed atmosphere. The bison enclosure in the park is being completely redesigned. Around a walk-in giant bison, interesting facts about bisons will be conveyed in a playful way.

Information boards on the topic: "How does reintroduction work?"

Wisent knowledge easy to grasp

Task and approach

Within the scope of a tender, we convince with our concept to implement the given topics in five interactive, family-friendly learning stations in a contemporary way. We plan, test, produce and install the stations on site.

Two horizontal rotating bodies in the fence of the enclosure provide information about the appearance of the bison

Challenges and solutions

In an elaborate prototype phase, we are converting a life-size bison into a giant flip page book. Here, the climatic situation caused by a nearby river presents us with exciting tasks in terms of material selection. We are also building a bison skeleton entirely from sustainable materials.
