Abstract：Urban zoo design is a very interesting architectural subject, because in the long history, the
relationship between humans and animals has been redefined and updated, and the zoo
itself has not yet had a perfect and mature model. In particular, domestic urban zoos have
been developing in exploration and practice, and they are faced with difficulties and
choices. Monkeys are clearly the most common, widespread, and widespread animal in the
zoo, and their importance is evident. We dont have much lessons from the past, but they
are more likely to re-start from an architectural perspective and think about how to balance
the relationship between people, animals, cities and buildings. Through this research, we
have temporarily abandoned a lot of so-called design routines, and more simply deductive
space in an architectural way of thinking. We are not professional zoologists. Maybe some
of the expectations of animals will be biased, but what we train and get is a design method,
no matter what the preconditions, we can find a suitable space plan.
