Production Technology

The virtual interaction of different modules is introduced into the aquarium design, so as to express the remarkable tension of the sea waves. In terms of surface treatment, golden perforated aluminum plate has been chosen. The plant and bird park is mainly made of glass curtain wall. The architectural elements on the external facade are like veins of a leaf, and the entire plant and bird park is like a leaf lying silently a beach with plenty of sunshine.

Design Challenge

A number of water bodies of various shapes and forms are complicatedly correlated. In order not to obstruct line of sight and the flow line, cantilevered stairway and large cantilevered stands are provided in different places within the aquarium. At the entrance of the aquarium, there is a Z-shaped post and batter post and other unconventional structures, so as to exhibit the purity of the facades and indoor spaces, and achieve a unity between architectural innovation and structural innovation.

Research

Rizhao Ocean Park is a comprehensive cultural tourism project integrating tourism, leisure and entertainment and business. The parameter-based non-linear design has been adopted to form tender graphics, which look like the ripples on the surface of the sea when a breeze blows over. The resultant aquarium looks vivid and lifelike in terms of its form, structure and appearance as waterfront buildings.Copyrights belong to Name Surname, Year.
