Title:
Abstract:	Nach drei Jahren Bauzeit öffnete am 7. Juni 2014 der neue “Kaeng Krachan” Elefantenpark im Zoo Zürich (Bild 1). Mit insgesamt etwa 11000 m2 ist er sechsmal so groß wie die alte Anlage. Das darin eingebettete Elefantenhaus ist die neue Unterkunft der bis zu zehn asiatischen Elefanten und bauliche Attraktion des Parks. Neben dem außergewöhnlichen Dachtragwerk, das bereits im Beitrag von WOLFRAM KÜBLER vorgestellt wurde, wird in diesem Fachaufsatz die Fassadenkonstruktion beleuchtet, bei der nahezu jedes Bauteil aufgrund der Dachgeometrie ein Unikat ist. Highly complex lamella façade for widespread roof-shell After three years of construction time the new “Kaeng Krachan” Elephant Park at Zoo Zürich opened on the 7th of June 2014 (Photo 1). With about 11000 m2 the park is six times bigger as the old one. The Elephant-House in the middle of the park is the new lodging of the up to ten elephants. The building is a special attraction concerning its structural works: Beside the extraordinary construction of the roof-shell, which was just presented in an article of WOLFRAM KÜBLER, the following pages will illuminate the construction of the facade, in which nearly every structural element is unique due to geometry of the roof-shell.
