| The Lion House will be restored as the centerpiece of the Bronx Zoo's Astor Court and become the first New York
City landmark certified "green". No longer deemed suitable for lions and
other big cats, the building will be reconfigured for an exhibition about
Madagascar, where the Wildlife Conservation Society is currently involved in
the creation of national parks. The challenge for the designers was to make
the architecture disappear on the interior, in order to create a sense of
immersion within the artificial environment, while respecting the historic structure. City-Owned
Institution.
