“…Stimuli from external sources, such as winds, sun rays, and rain, are able to elicit automated responses from the building, allowing the systems to achieve a high performance, increasing its efficiency, sustainability, and deliverability, and finally, comfort for the users [ 188 ]. Animal enclosures built considering dynamic architecture could offer to the animals inside considerable change in complexity, but this technique has not yet been applied [ 189 ].…”

The complexity of the habitat refers to its physical geometry, which includes abiotic and biotic elements. Habitat complexity is important because it allows more species to coexist and, consequently, more interactions to be established among them. The complexity of the habitat links the physical structure of the enclosure to the biological interactions, which occur within its limits. Enclosure complexity should vary temporally, to be able to influence the animals in different ways, depending on the period of the day and season and throughout the year. In the present paper, we discuss how habitat complexity is important, and how it can positively influence the physical and mental states of zoo animals. We show how habitat complexity can ultimately affect educational projects. Finally, we discuss how we can add complexity to enclosures and, thus, make the lives of animals more interesting and functional.

“…Visseren-Hamakers (2020) states that animals are ignored in sustainable development discussions, because sustainable development is a very human-centred concept. Maulana (2018) emphasizes that the practice of sustainability is generally humanoriented, and in fact, the basis of sustainability should be a continuous harmony between human and nature. On the other hand, Apfelbeck et al (2020) point to the relationship between biodiversity, ecosystem services and sustainable and healthy cities and clearly state that urban design focuses on the needs of all living things, including wildlife.…”

Environmentally insensitive practices such as the unconscious use of natural resources, industrialization and unplanned urbanization cause the rapid destruction of natural habitats and even the extinction of some species. Today, as the importance of sustainable architecture has increased, architectural approaches that are compatible with nature have been adopted and thus the protection of natural life has been tried to be supported. As a definition, sustainability is a form of practice that aims to harmonize the built environment with natural life. In this context, the impact on animals whose habitats we are destroying is a significant topic within sustainability discussions. Studies show that the role and importance of human-animal based sustainable architectural habitats for enhancing animal welfare have not been extensively investigated. This study aims to discuss the importance of animal-aided designs within the sustainability approach. In addition, it is to carry out studies to improve the quality of life in society by strengthening the human-animal bond. In line with this purpose, animal-aided designs at urban, infrastructure, and building scales were analyzed within sustainability approaches, and their contribution to the sustainability approach was evaluated. As a result, it is emphasized that the sustainable animal-aided design approach provides innovative solutions for structures to be designed for animals and it also contributes to environmental, social, and economic sustainability, but in order for these designs to be successful, it is underlined that living spaces suitable for the needs of animals should be created and the negative effects of environmental impacts on animals should be considered. It is also emphasized that in addition to the principles of sustainability, factors that pay regard to the lives of animals contribute to the understanding of sustainability. It is expected that the discussion of the relationship between sustainability and animal-aided design, which is put forward through this study, will create an important discussion ground for future research and application examples.
