Vancouver: Jack Chow Giant Panda Habitat in CTV News

Tickets at GiantPandaHabitat.com

 

From the December 11th article "Famously narrow Vancouver building becomes habitat for animatronic giant pandas" by Lisa Steacy at CTV News:

Chow said he was inspired, in large part, by his father who he describes as a visionary and champion for Chinatown. The giant panda installation is something he hopes will continue his father's legacy of putting the neighbourhood on the map and drawing people to visit.


"Now there's another reason for people to come down to Chinatown to see something totally different. We've got giant pandas in Vancouver now!"

The question Chow says he gets most often is about how the pandas – which are taller than the building is wide – got inside. Chow, who is also a magician, declines to reveal that secret.

"We'll leave that a puzzle for people who come to visit," he said.

Read more.

 

From the August 28th upload "Jack Chow Giant Panda Habitat" at The Creative Solution YouTube channel:

Nestled inside the skinniest building in the world, this one-of-a-kind space has earned a Guinness World Record for its incredible feat of design. Step into this slender wonder and explore how we’ve crafted a lush, vibrant world for our pandas, all within the walls of this architectural marvel. It’s proof that big things really can come in small packages!
