The project strongly emphasises the separation between humans and wolves, visitors and researchers, creating an intense experience that could lead to a change in visitors’ internal understanding of the red wolves, in which ultimately they are a dangerous specie, however, it would not provide a reason for humans to kill.
The project features three parts: one for visitors, one for researchers, and one for both to interact, though many spaces are reserved for the researcher and the red wolves. A red wolf viewing platform lift above ground and sits on top of the clinic, it hides behind a perforated skin and is unconventional to other zoo-like institutions, it separates people from the wolves sectionally to leave space for the wolves. The project overall acknowledges red wolves' physical freedom as much as it can by providing a loose boundary definition, which will provoke better change for family interaction and reproduction.
