Jia Song

Jia Song designed her project, “Alpaca Bridge,” as part of Visiting Assistant Professor Irene Compadre’s fall 2024 course, Wild Crossings.

The course asked students to design a connection between the south side of the Saint Louis Zoo across I-64 to the former Forest Park Hospital site it purchased in 2012. Song’s project included an alpaca habitat with a protected pathway and exhibit space for visitors to observe the animals, as well as engaging with the interstate through unique, circular design elements.
