Aquatrium，纽约/景观

Occupying a total area of approximately 40,000 sqm on the East River, the architectural concept includes a large water basin with the aquarium and a marine centre located on a submerged, two-level island. A boardwalk surrounds the basin like a floating ring, creating a pathway linking the city and a new beach-themed public park to the aquarium.

主要景点是水族馆，它有一个可伸缩的屋顶，使其成为一个活壳，白天向天空开放，以揭示海洋世界，当夜幕降临时，它会关闭，作为天文馆接受“第二生命”。

The main attraction, the aquarium, has a retractable roof enabling it to become a living shell that opens up to the sky during the day to reveal the sea worlds and closes as darkness falls to take on a 'second life' as a planetarium.

水族馆本身将由八个圆柱形透明生物穹顶组成，代表四大洋和四海，而北极和南极则由中庭中心的一座冰山表示。

The aquarium itself would be formed of eight cylindrical transparent biodomes representing the four oceans and four seas, with the North and South Poles being expressed by an iceberg in the centre of the atrium.

其主要目的是创造一个环境，让游客感觉自己正在进入水中，以发现展出的海洋生物的美丽；一个活着的贝壳，白天向天空开放，展示海洋世界，当夜幕降临时关闭，作为天文馆接受“第二生命”，保护竞技场和里面的生物群落圆顶，就像一个贝壳保护珍珠一样。

The main idea is to generate an environment whereby visitors feel that they themselves are entering the water to discover the beauty of the marine life on display; a living shell that opens to the sky during the day to reveal the sea worlds and which closes as darkness falls to take on a “second life” as a planetarium, protecting the arena and the biome domes within, like a shell protects the pearl.
