Tucson, Arizona’s Reid Park Zoo gives a nod to sustainability in design with an eye-catching tensile structure at the parks entryway. With its dramatic slopes and curvatures, the structure captures about 70% of rainwater which is drained into a cistern. As the structure is expertly illuminated at night, the park is frequently used for evening activities and events.
