Probably my favourite stretch of railroad in the world is this bit just north of Rotterdam Central Station that goes right through Blijdorp Zoo. So far, I've seen giraffes, kudus, bison, and polar bears from a comfortable train seat.

Meet a beautiful inhabitant of Nordens Ark: Loesje (/ˈluːʃə/)!

The cat is six years old. She was born in Rotterdam Zoo, The Netherlands, in the family of a French manul boy and a Siberian manul girl (we don't know their names yet)❤️❄️. And at the age of one and a half years she moved to Nordens Ark.

Loesje is married. Every mating season, her furry lover Thomas O'Malley rides to her on his drakkar of love! 🤭 Many of you already know one of their sons – he is the handsome Kubi, who lives in Wroclaw Zoo, Poland.

Loesje is the owner of a large enclosure, part of which is hidden from the eyes of visitors, so it is a great luck to see her. The best time to observe her is while she's waiting her lunch. Therefore, we inform you that this mysterious beauty has a secretive life, prefers privacy and loves to eat! 😋😄 Please love and favor!

逆にコエーよｗ　　(;´∀｀) ｵﾓﾛｰ In 2007, after one of their gorillas, Bokito, escaped and attacked a women who stared at him everyday, the Rotterdam Zoo started handing out glasses that tricked the gorillas into thinking that zoo goers weren’t staring at them

At the 1956 CIAM meeting in Dubrovnik the topic of the “habitat” dominated the agenda: although the term had already been introduced earlier to the congress’s circles it had since been fiercely debated as it entailed a fundamentally different look at architecture and urban planning, away from isolated buildings and plannings towards a more integrated and holistic approach. In line with its origins in biology and anthropology the term stands for an ecological approach towards architecture that goes beyond the border of the discipline and looks at it as part of a dynamic whole of cohabitation. This approach at the same time represented a disengagement with earlier functionalist convictions as laid down in the Athens Charter.

With the book “Habitat. Ecology Thinking in Architecture”, edited by among others Dirk van den Heuvel and published by nai010 publishers in 2020, this turn in the history of the CIAM and proto-ecological thinking in architecture has for the first time been comprehensively researched. The focus is on the presentations held during the congress, the non-published „Charta of Habitat“ and the projects it consecutively influenced. Among these are Cedric Price’s Northern Aviary at the London Zoo, the Tanthof Estate in Delft by Van den Broek & Bakema or the Patchwork Metropolis developed by Willem Jan Neutelings, three examples of how architects engaged with the multilayered nature of habitat. On the basis of the extensive archival material residing at Het Nieuwe Instituut in Rotterdam each project is elucidated and therefore the historical origins of ecological thinking in architecture. This strictly historical perspective leaves quite some space for musings about potential transfers and inspirations for the present. A great read!

Gorilla Lope News Flash! by SloggerVlogger Gorilla Lope NEWS! He's in France at Zoo du Bassin d'Arcachon and he met his new troop! The French Zoo wrote "In the past few weeks, 2 gorillas have arrived to form a group with male silverback Dishi. Indeed, Aybo arrived from Rotterdam Zoo in the Netherlands and Lope arrived from Twycross Zoo in the UK. The contact of the 3 gorillas was done gradually and calmly. All 3 of them are now together on a daily basis and interacting positively!" I hope he's as happy as he was in this short :-) We will miss him so much, but I'm so happy to finally get this news. Good luck Lope with your next chapter in life. Show the silverback who's boss! lol.
