About Rizhao 海洋公園

日照係一個結合水族館同植物雀鳥公園嘅海洋公園。設計靈感源自日出時金光閃爍嘅海面。透過非線性參數化設計手法，塑造出柔和嘅紋理，令人聯想起水面嘅漣漪。水族館外牆採用金色穿孔鋁板包覆，而植物雀鳥公園就以玻璃幕牆圍合。水族館頂部設有跨度達40米嘅球形單層網殼天窗，自然光可以照射到超過六成嘅水體。參觀路線同水池互相穿插，營造出豐富多變嘅展覽空間。

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.
Inspiration: The Project is located in the coast area in each China, where the sun sheds its first light onto the earth. It is also the cradle of sun culture of China. The concept of the Project is inspired by the golden sea surface when the sun starts to rise, and the Project is designed as a salute to the generosity of the ocean, and as a respect to the energetic marine life with the language of architecture.
Project Duration: The project started in October 1, 2015 in Rizhao and finished in July 20, 2018 in Rizhao.
