Abstract

dc:description.abstract

The proposed aquarium is located in South East Washington D.C. The design creates an interactive walkway along the river. The movement of the water is redirected to stimulate the enjoyable atmospere for the people. The aquarium's shape is highly designed to reflect the fish movement. This project is a combination of advanced structure, inspiring architectural expression, and promoting urban lanscape to the shore. As a result, this aquarium is as an icon building to the city attraction.
