Wings Over L.A. is a World Class BirdPark
ings Over L.A. is a Conceptual Design for a “World Class BirdPark” in Southern California. Originally created for my Thesis Project (presentation photo above) in Landscape Architecture at UCLA, the idea stired up a lot of interest especially in the avian community so I thought I would dedicate a blog to it in hopes that one day, enough enthusiasts would help to make it a reality.
Concept Design for My Thesis Project
What’s a World Class BirdPark?
“Birds can be studied essentially in two ways: by observing them in the field or (by observing them) in an aviary. If the latter happens to be a large aviary, which nearly simulates the natural habitats with walk-in facilities, then it would be different from the first two. Such an aviary may be more appropriately termed a BirdPark”.

BirdPark Jurong Park, Singapore
This is a great Example of a World Class BirdPark.
Jurong Park sets the precedent for Wing Over L.A. It demonstrates the proper avian habitats and how humans interact with nature. Situated in Singapore the birdPark is a tropical paradise with large enclosures inhabited by free flying birds. The park consists of Aquatic as well as Avian Creatures. Humans are allowed to visit and watch from viewing pints, some high up in the tree canopies.
