Bear Ravine 1

The architects chosen to design Dudley Zoo were renowned Modernists, calling themselves The Tecton Group, led by Russian-born Berthold Lubetkin.

They viewed the zoo as a microcosm of society, and aimed to protect the welfare of the animals while meeting visitors' demands for a clear view from a safe position.

Using reinforced concrete Lubetkin’s team created a revolutionary new design of building: Tectons.

The bear ravine is a substantial structure with a shaped retaining wall and cantilevered terrace affording views into the enclosure. During excavation for foundations an unexpected cavity, approximately 15 metres deep, was discovered prompting radical amendments to the original design.
