Corrivatio Aquarum, investigates the foundational principles required for a holistic intervention focused on implementing principles of biomimicry, ecological balance and methods of water management, extracted from aquascaping. The project intent is to generate an architecturally significant structure that embodies elements of sustainability, community and passive resource management. The architectural intervention will serve as a catalyst for greater ecological balance within the grounds of the Johannesburg Zoo and surrounding Zoo Lake area, re-establishing a connection between the Johannesburg Zoo and its surrounding urban context. This will be further influenced by fore fronting adaptable principles which express the relationship between architecture and water management, at the same time expressing elements that can translate into a variety of scales and architectural contexts both within and around the Zoo.
