CORE Design Studio

Birds from around the would pass through Houston during their migration. The new aviary exhibit at the Houston Zoo not only celebrates the completion of their Centennial Capital Campaign, but also encourages visitors to discover how they can support bird conservation efforts locally and internationally.

The exhibit’s design mirrors the elegance and fluidity of bird forms, incorporating iridescent feather textures and a shifting color palette that reflects diverse ecosystems and habitats. Our approach creates an immersive encounter that celebrates the beauty and diversity of global bird species, while highlighting the Houston Zoo’s ongoing mission of conservation and education.

CORE was responsible for creating a unique interpretive experience for visitors by branding the exhibit to designing, fabricating, and installing all signage and interpretive elements.

Your visit to the Houston Zoo Birds of the World exhibit helps save birds locally and internationally. Make a visit soon!

We’ve had the pleasure of working on the story of Jesse H. and Mary Gibbs Jones and their contributions to our Houston community in a variety of media for almost 20 years. This exhibit is the culmination of that work with our dear friend and collaborator Steven Fenberg.
Here’s hoping that future generations can appreciate how “it is in service that you will grow the greatest.”
