Gondwanaland, Indoor tropical rainforest hall at Leipzig Zoo, Germany
The 16,500-square-meter facility contains 170 animal species and 500 plant varieties from Africa, Asia, and South America under one climate-controlled roof.
The structure, inaugurated in 2010, stands on former workshop grounds along Pfaffendorfer Strasse as part of Leipzig Zoo's expansion program.
The building takes its name from the ancient supercontinent that included South Asia, Africa, and South America before tectonic plate movement.
Visitors can explore the environment through an automated boat ride at ground level or walk across suspended rope bridges in the upper canopy.
The spherical roof spans 160 meters with a one-meter-deep shell structure, supporting triple-layer ETFE units that prevent snow accumulation.
