The Economist: Why do penguins struggle with modernist architecture?

Set between the llamas and the Land of the Lions, the penguin pool in London Zoo is a mini-modernist masterpiece.

Built in 1934 and designed by Berthold Lubetkin, it is sleek, swooshy and perfectly proportioned; its cantilevered concrete ramps, slender as apple peelings, were revolutionary. Its penguins looked less as though they were living in it than, as in an architect’s illustration, modelling for it.
