Truly impressive, with a well-thought-out design concept that successfully merges sustainability and innovation. The choice of colors enhances the visual impact, giving the project a dynamic and inviting presence. The plans and diagrams are clear and thoughtfully executed, reflecting the considerable effort and attention to detail put into this proposal.
The parametric design approach is nothing short of fantastic. It adds a layer of sophistication to the project, especially with the kinetic roof and the adaptive patterns. The integration of parametric elements like the twisted louvers, inspired by the biological mechanisms of fish gills, is a brilliant touch. It not only connects the design with its marine context but also makes the architecture feel alive, with an interactive experience that blends the digital and physical realms. This approach to design elevates the project to a level where it becomes both functional and symbolic, offering visitors a unique and immersive experience.
The use of cutting-edge technologies, such as the point-fixed spider glass system and tension rods, combined with the floating structure and space truss system, demonstrates a strong technical understanding and forward-thinking approach. The sustainable aspects of the project, from the energy-efficient glass panels to the tidal/current generators, reflect a deep commitment to environmental responsibility. The integration of seawater conversion and rainwater collection systems further enhances the project’s sustainability, ensuring that it operates in harmony with its coastal environment.
The Marsa Alam Aquarium Center and Research project stands out not only for its aesthetic and technical brilliance but also for its potential to significantly contribute to the awareness and preservation of marine and freshwater resources. This is a project that blends education, entertainment, and sustainability in a seamless and impactful manner.
Thank you, Zeinab ِAtef Qasemy, for sharing such a remarkable proposal. The attention to detail, innovation, and forward-thinking approach make it a standout project. The effort and dedication invested in this design are evident, and it is clear that the vision is both impactful and achievable. Excellent work.
