1. Contractors resurface the walls. A mural
to match Amazon Flooded Forest will later be applied.
2. As in Amazon Flooded Forest, the ceiling
gets a coat of black paint.
3. The new wall coating turns a concrete block
wall into a smooth surface. The yellow space defines where the
new holding cages will be.
4. Structural rebar delineates the walls
and roof slabs of the new holding cages.
 5.
At this corner, the tan wall abuts the Amazon Flooded Forest
exhibit. Only the top portion of the wall will get a mural.
The bottom portion of the wall will become rockwork.
6. Sean and Loy tie rebar armature for new
rockwork. The armature defines the general shape of the rocks.
Later, shotcrete will be applied and carved to match the Amazon
Flooded Forest on the other side of the wall.
7. Bending rebar. All armature is hand-bent
into the sculptural forms of the rocks.
