BIG is taking the idea of a zoo and turning it upside down.

The Zoo is divided into three different sections: Africa, America and Asia. Its main entrance leads to a large central square that allows visitors to look over the different sections. A 2.5-mile path connects them.

Bjarke Ingels, founder of BIG, told USA Today the company is introducing architecture into nature. To do this, animals will roam free and live in habitats similar to their natural environment.

The Huffington Post reported that, “instead of cages, animals will live in a somewhat free-roaming environment where natural barriers like waterways and changes in elevation will keep them in place.” According to USA Today, visitors can view the animals from “spherical pods in the water or suspended from ziplines that are propelled by pedaling.”

Ingels told USA Today: “It makes it much more enjoyable not only for the visitors, but also for the animals … They have much more desirable conditions.”

Some of the designs look pretty futuristic. Is that a bubble bike?

Parents may look askance at others.

To coincide with the zoo’s 50th anniversary, the first phase of the project is slated to be finished by 2019.
