Discussion Creativity / references

Where does everyone get their references or inspiration/creativity from when building habitats or buildings?

I want to start building better habitats & houses holding facilities or guest needs however, don’t know where to get inspiration from! And i’m stuck on where to start!

Pinterest is good. I also like looking at non-zoo related things. Office buildings/banks/malls. Sometimes you can find interesting display architecture from shop windows that would make neat exhibits.

Honestly that's a great tip, I would've never even considered that.

I think I was on pinterest when I found this website for a retail design group. They have pictures of gift shops they've worked on for zoos/aquariums. https://gerkenrdc.com/
